The TÚATH (tu - ah) is the official Irish Whiskey tasting glass. Túath is a word from old Irish meaning family or nation. It is designed to enhance the Irish whiskey drinking experience. The shape helps nose the whiskey by enhancing the aroma at the top thus preparing the palate for flavor. The stem is not symmetrical but is reminiscent of the rugged Irish coastline but incredibly securely fits in the shape of your hand. It is generously sized.
