01 / The pour

Scroll to pour

It starts empty.

Clear glass. A titanium base. Nothing else on the table.

Then, the pour.

Slowed down, so you can watch it land and settle.

Titanium underneath.

Bases that chill faster and keep your drink cool longer.

Now take your time.

The glass is in no hurry. Neither are you.

02 / Why Element 22

Twenty-two protons. One stubborn metal.

Titanium sits at number 22 on the periodic table. It was named for the Titans of Greek myth, and it earns the name. It is the metal trusted in airframes, jet engines and surgical implants: light, strong, and almost impossible to corrode.

We gave it a quieter job. Holding your whiskey.

03 / The knurl

Engineering you can feel.

A diamond lattice runs around every titanium base. On the bar it throws light like a cut stone. In the hand it gives your fingers something to hold on to, even when the glass is cold.

04 / Beneath the pour

A peak at the bottom of every glass.

Look down through the whiskey and a small mountain rises from the floor of the glass. It catches the light as the pour settles around it, a detail you only find once there is something in it.

05 / Base to stopper

  1. 01

    Base

    Aerospace-grade titanium, wrapped in the diamond knurl.

  2. 02

    Body

    Handcrafted glass. Nothing printed on it, nothing between you and the colour.

  3. 03

    Shoulder

    A rounded shoulder that lets the light run over it.

  4. 04

    Stopper

    A stepped glass stopper to close the decanter.

Made to be poured,

not kept behind glass.

07 / After hours

An evening, in three pours.

Made for the slow part of the night, when nobody checks the time except to pour another.

21:40

The first one.

Lifted off the table, cool where your fingers meet the titanium.

Two whiskey glasses side by side on titanium bases

22:15

Pour another for company.

Four glasses in the set, because good whiskey rarely gets finished alone.

23:05

Still cool. Still slow.

The last sip of the night, from a glass built to keep your drink cool longer.

08 / Last call

The lights are going down. The campaign is coming up.

The Titanium Whiskey Set launches soon on Kickstarter. Follow the project and you will hear the moment it goes live.
