The Rauk Heavy Tumbler: Crafted for the Connoisseur's Delight

At the intersection of advanced digital design, innovative production techniques, and the intimate whisky ritual, the Rauk Heavy Tumbler stands as a testament to artistry and function. Developed for whisky enthusiasts who prefer their spirit chilled, whether with an ice sphere or on the rocks, this tumbler also caters to those who revel in the art of crafted cocktails.

The glass's core innovation lies within, where an array of extruded chevrons radiates from the center, providing friction points for gripping and muddling ingredients. Circumventing the ornamentation of traditional cut crystal, the tumbler's entire surface, both inside and out, is born from a single, momentous machine-pressing of molten crystal into a complex five-part mold. The result is a pure expression of material and form, with geometric facets and edges blending organically into curved surfaces that captivate the eyes and engage the sense of touch.

Meticulously crafted over two years, the Rauk Heavy Tumbler is a masterpiece of design and production. The base, precision-modeled, touches down on four crystal points, giving the appearance of a hovering satellite. This delicate balance of thickness and cooling rates was a critical challenge, as the glass must cool at precisely timed intervals to prevent cracking or sinking. It is a glass ballet, a pop and lock of timing and intuition, to achieve the desired floating effect of this heavy tumbler.

Moving upward, the triangular facets of the base evolve into the more organic, three-dimensional form that elevates the glass above the table surface. These iconic forms then transition into the triangular surfaces and creases of the main outer surface – the part you instinctively want to touch with your hands. Finally, these features culminate in the gently curving perimeter and finely edged rim, the part you eagerly await to touch with your lips.

The Rauk Heavy Tumbler is more than just a striking rocks glass. Its inner base hosts a specially developed multi-chevron cross-shaped extrusion, engineered to grip ingredients during the muddling process. This unique feature, refined through dozens of design iterations, allows the cocktail maker to effortlessly capture and arrest the movement of waxy and slippery peels, enabling the art of mixology to truly shine.

Crafted from non-leaded crystal in the Czech Republic, the Rauk Heavy Tumbler is a testament to the pursuit of perfection. With its award-winning, patented design, this glass is a must-have for the discerning whisky and cocktail enthusiast, who demands not just another rocks glass, but the absolute, nonpareil, heaviest tumbler they can own.
