Chef & Sommelier Spirit Rum Glasses 170ml – Pack of 24

These Chef & Sommelier spirit glasses are designed specifically for rum tasting and similar short spirit servings, including grappa and other liqueurs. Made from Krysta glass — a high-clarity crystal-substitute material — they offer the look and feel of fine crystal with greater resistance to the mechanical stresses of commercial service. The fine-cut rim is a deliberate design choice, not a decorative one: it reduces the intrusion of the glass edge during tasting, which is a practical consideration in venues where the drinking experience is part of the offer.

In bar and restaurant settings, glassware takes a significant amount of daily handling — clearing, washing, stacking, and restocking. Krysta glass is well suited to this environment. It holds its clarity over repeated commercial dishwasher cycles better than standard soda-lime glass, which tends to cloud and scratch more quickly under heavy use. For a venue running tasting flights or a focused spirits programme, this durability matters over the course of a busy year of service.

• Fine rim supports spirit tasting and flavour appreciation
• Krysta material resists clouding and surface scratching in daily service
• Suitable for rum, grappa, liqueur, and short spirit servings
• Pack of 24 provides a practical opening quantity for most bar setups
• Consistent clarity maintains the presentation standard expected in fine dining

There are no installation requirements here, but it is worth considering your storage and glasswasher setup before ordering in volume. Krysta glass, while more durable than standard glass, still requires appropriate racking and careful handling during washing to achieve its full lifespan in service.

These glasses are best suited to restaurants, fine dining venues, hotel bars, and specialist cocktail or spirits bars where presentation standards are high and glassware turnover is consistent. For venues running very high cover counts or where breakage rates are a primary concern, a polycarbonate or thicker-walled alternative may be worth considering alongside.

If you are stocking a new bar or reviewing your glassware range and would like a steer on quantities or suitability for your service style, the team is happy to help.
