The Raif Whisky Decanter is the sculpted, defiant outcome of advanced digital design, inventive production techniques, and a deep respect for the whisky ritual.

The Crackled Edition introduces a limited, hand-crafted finish created through a precise thermal shock technique, forming an intricate network of internal fractures that catch and refract the light. No two are ever the same.

Rebelling against traditional squat forms and ornamental stoppers, Raif leans into a sleek, elongated silhouette. Light slides across its facets; the heavy base anchors it with quiet authority. The milled aluminum stopper—stealth-like in profile—lands with intention, demanding slow, deliberate movement to reveal the spirit within.

A bold, sculptural centerpiece for service and presentation, the Raif Decanter stands as a sentry over your whisky—crafted for those who view the ritual not as habit, but ceremony.

The Raif Whisky Decanter emerged from our desire to reinterpret the ceremonial objects of whisky culture through a modern design language. Rather than mimic traditional rounded bodies and ornate stoppers, we pursued a form shaped by digital sculpting, precision machining, and the tension between lightness and mass.

The Crackle Edition was born during experimental glassmaking trials, where a controlled temperature shock revealed a beautiful and unexpected fracture lattice inside the glass. We refined the process over months, shaping each piece by hand so the crackle becomes part of the decanter’s identity—an internal landscape frozen in time.
Raif was designed as a ceremonial decanter—an object that slows the ritual and elevates intention.
Its stopper mechanism requires both hands, inviting a deliberate, mindful removal that becomes part of the experience. The tall, tapered shape guides the pour with precision, while the Crackled Edition’s refractive patterns amplify the visual drama of the spirit inside.

Use Raif not for long-term storage, but as a presentation vessel for whiskies you enjoy regularly—turning each pour into a moment worth noting.

A stunningly decanter and a great gift!

The Raif Whisky Decanter is exhaustingly brought to life over the course of five handcrafted processes involving mouth blowing glass, diamond wheel cutting, sanding, polishing, and oiling. Its cast aluminum decorative lid is treated with a special shock spray lacquer for a uniquely matte finish.

A Ritual Element by Design

A lid precision-machined and finished with a shock-spray surface, this element is designed to be lifted with two hands, held, and set upright as part of the presentation.

The Nested Triptych

The decanter’s form is intentionally designed to nest. When placed together, three decanters align to form a triptych—fitting seamlessly side by side as a single sculptural composition.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the purpose of a whisky decanter?

Unlike aged wine, whisky does not need a great deal of aeration to reveal the most flavor. (Our Norlan Whisky Glass was developed to reduce the sting of ethanol when nosing; so we're of the mind that some aeration in the glass is beneficial).

The purpose of a whisky decanter is therefore primarily decorative. A decanter enhances the presentation of your whisky, lending a touch of sophistication to your ritual.

Does the decanter lid form an airtight seal?

The aluminum lid for the Raif Whisky Decanter primarily serves a decorative function and does not form a seal with the decanter mouth.

Due to the handmade nature of the glass, a perfect seal is not always possible. Some examples may show gaps between the lid and the decanter mouth. As a result, it is not recommended to use the decanter for storage, but as an elegant presentation vessel.

Is the decanter intended for long-term storage?

The Raif Whisky Decanter was developed as a sculptural object for the presentation and dispensation of one’s favorite whiskies. It is therefore not intended for the long-term storage of whisky, but for containment of whiskies that are regularly enjoyed.
