Genio

Every distillate taster knows that the tasting glass plays a central role in the experience. In particular, the physical and mechanical characteristics of the glass are fundamental to best appreciate all qualities of distillates. Bearing all of this in their mind, Blueside Emotional Design presented its Genio glass, an innovative tasting glass whose shape reminds of Aladdin’s lamp, of course.

Leonardo Borra, who designed the glass, chose to provide the glass with two chambers, so as to allow the liquid to fully release its fragrances while slowly streaming from one chamber to the other one. The first chamber is used to pour the distillate, while the second one serves as a real tasting container.

Another Genio’s innovative feature that makes this glass even more unique is the unusual shape: reminding of the lamp of Aladdin, it welcomes the hand of the taster in an “intimate” way, allowing the body temperature to transfer to the liquid, thus adding to the enhancement of the aromatic components of the distillate.

Thanks to its original conception, Genio is a truly irresistible and sophisticated tool for classy men who want to own a design object without renouncing to functionality.
