Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design The Niall Cognac Glass by Tiago Russo The Niall was designed as the ultimate tasting glass for the cognac aficionado, where every element has been carefully conceived to allow the drinker to taste and nose the cognac. The stem allows the drinker to elevate the glass, toast, and proceed to nosing with optimal control, whilst the thicker glass density ensures the environment has no effect on the temperature of the cognac. The Vortex Point, bulb, and chicane come together to remove the ethanol vapor, ensuring the drinker can detect every layer of flavor and aroma that has developed through decades of time, craft, and skill.
