We did it, again

The Shape of Taste. Now for Whisky.

With his wine glasses, Kurt Josef Zalto shaped the way we experience wine. Now he gives the aromatic diversity of whisky a form of its own.

The handcrafted glasses unite the highest level of glassmaking craftsmanship with sensory excellence.

You may own the right bottle, but are you using the right glass?

A great whisky is more than a drink. It is a promise: of history, complexity, craftsmanship, maturity and character. Yet the decisive final step of enjoyment is often underestimated: the glass.

Only its shape determines whether a whisky reveals its entire soul.

More clarity, more nuance, more depth

Meet the soul of your Whisky.

Every whisky has its own character. And everyone has their own way of savouring it. Whether for a purist tasting or a relaxed ritual, the Josephine whisky glasses unite sensory precision with deeply personal moments of pleasure. For an entirely new experience.

Developed by Kurt Josef Zalto with a single ambition: perfection.

Whether the delicate stemmed glass N° 11 for full aromatic expression or the reimagined tumbler N° 12 for the perfect sipping moment – both reduce distracting influences and concentrate the aromas like never before.

Josephine N° 11 – Whisky

More aroma. More soul. More whisky.

The stemmed glass for the pure, sensory whisky moment. For connoisseurs and discerning enthusiasts who want more. More sensation. More emotional depth, character and discovery.

The glass opens up space for the pure essence, tames the alcohol and lets every single nuance unfold without compromise.

The shape softens the sharpness of the alcohol, making aromas clearer, more layered and more distinct.

The long stem creates distance between hand and nose, reducing distracting outside influences while nosing.

Josephine N° 12 – Whisky Tumbler

The classic ritual. Reimagined.

The glass for the moment when whisky is enjoyed relaxed, in style, and yet with full awareness. It honours classic whisky culture while raising it to a new level.

The whisky can open up and develop. At the same time, the tapered bowl keeps the aromas in the glass.

The precise glass geometry helps dial back dominant alcohol notes, letting the finer layers of aroma come forward more clearly.

The striking shape and delicate craftsmanship make the tumbler a special experience in the hand as well.

Shape makes the difference.

Our distinctive glass shape gives the whisky more room. The sharpness of the alcohol fades into the background, and suddenly aromas come forward that were barely perceptible before.
