Kacper Hamilton's "Art of Degustation" Drinking Set

Some of us—particularly whiskey and Scotch drinkers—have rituals for drinking, and I won't judge you if your ritual is to drink Cutty Sark straight from the bottle before putting your head down on the kitchen table. But if you wanted to class it up a bit, you could do a lot worse than to use this "Art of Degustation" drinking set, designed for Ballantine's by Kacper Hamilton.

Hamilton's sexy snifters have a hole in their center that allow them, along with a similar decanter, to be ferried into the room on a silver tray with an integrated spindle that all of the glassware's impaled on. When it comes time to quaff, metal inserts that you've chilled in the freezer are used to plug the holes, keeping the booze nice and icy while obviating melting cubes.

Hit the jump for more shots.

Beautiful glasses. Too bad the tray, necessary for holding the decanter and glasses, destroys the design by only holding a bottle of a single brand of scotch. So close!
