The Kist Storage Case is a sculptural chest conceived for the modern whisky ritual — a union of form, craftsmanship, and purpose. Hand-crafted from responsibly sourced solid European Oak, its faceted design reflects the angular geometry of Norlan’s glassware, while magnetic closures and a vegan leather-lined cradle ensure each glass is held with precision and quiet strength.

Available in both two- and four-glass configurations, the Kist now returns in its Second Edition, redesigned to accommodate not only the Norlan Whisky Glass and Norlan Steel Tumbler, but also the Rauk Heavy Tumbler (250 mL). Finished in a deep black spirit-based stain with a satin lacquer topcoat, it stands as a timeless object — one that celebrates the craftsmanship of fine glassware and the rituals that surround it.

A vessel for ritual and reverence, the Kist Storage Case is a sculptural, solid oak chest, hand-built in the Czech Republic to house either two or four Norlan Whisky Glasses or Norlan Steel Tumblers. The faceted geometry of the case echoes the angular forms of the glasses it protects—creating a sense of visual harmony and tactile delight.

Inside, a soft-touch, dusty-grey vegan leather insert holds each glass in place like a gem set in fine jewelry. The inverted glasses are cradled in silos, shielded by a flush, removable lid secured by blackened rare-earth magnets—subtly hidden but undeniably firm.

Now introducing the Kist Case for Rauk Heavy Tumbler (250 mL version only) — a reimagined edition crafted by popular demand. Built with the same artisanal precision and geometric clarity, this version is tailored to the weight and stature of the Rauk glass, offered in both 2-Glass and 4-Glass configurations.
Whether displayed at home or presented as a gift, the Kist elevates the whisky experience into a ritual of precision, elegance, and care. Designed to protect and present your glassware, it transforms storage into ceremony—inviting moments of quiet preparation and deliberate enjoyment.

From bar cart to gift presentation, the Kist stands as both object and offering—a sculptural embodiment of craftsmanship, form, and the enduring ritual of whisky.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What glasses fit inside the Kist 2nd Edition?

The new edition is designed to hold either Norlan Whisky Glasses, Norlan Steel Tumblers, or the Rauk Heavy Tumblers (250 mL version only). It’s available in 2-Glass and 4-Glass configurations.

Can the Kist Case be used as a gift box?

Yes. The Kist was conceived as both a functional storage vessel and a presentation piece, continuing a long tradition found in cultures worldwide — from Japanese kiribako and Chinese lacquer boxes to European oak cases — where fine objects are gifted in handcrafted wooden enclosures. Each Kist transforms the act of giving into a ritual of respect and permanence, making it an ideal showcase for Norlan glassware.

Will the product look identical to the photographs?

Each Kist Storage Case is individually hand-built from European Oak, a natural material celebrated for its rich grain and variation. As a result, the production version may differ slightly from the images shown.

Subtle differences in color, grain pattern, and texture are inherent to genuine oak and are considered part of its beauty. Minor surface irregularities or tonal shifts should not be seen as flaws, but as the natural expression of the material itself.

Similarly, the vegan leather interior may display slight textural or tonal variations, adding to each case’s unique character and authenticity.

How do I care for the case?

Clean the exterior and interior with a nonabrasive dust cloth.

Is the Kist 2nd Edition limited in quantity?

Yes — the Kist is produced in limited batches due to its artisanal manufacturing process. Early access is recommended to secure availability during seasonal gifting periods.

Where is the Kist Storage Case made?

Each Kist is hand-crafted in the Czech Republic, continuing Norlan’s tradition of European craftsmanship and attention to material detail.
