“Use of The NEAT glass has been very successful in our Liquor & Bar Management course. Students unfamiliar with drinking or tasting spirits straight and undiluted, can better appreciate the flavor nuances of various spirits without the nose-numbing effects of alcohol vapors. I have found no other vessel that achieves what The NEAT glass provides for objective tasting and analysis.”
Robin Robinson
Spirits Educator, Author, Consultant:
“What happens when we encounter spirits is interesting: a swirl of complex aromas and flavors wafting together from the glass to your nose. Intense alcohol causes burn and gets in the way of enjoying aromas. Modern glassware does not address that problem, and the most popular glass on the market is designed for blending where alcohol is purposely diluted. With NEAT I pour bottle-strength or over-proof spirits, stick my nose in the “sweet spot” and experience exactly what the spirit is about without alcohol burn. That’s pretty impressive. No other glass performs as well”.
Rockwell Rutter
Founder, Distillery University:
Our goal is to provide our students with the best possible education and that means using the best tools. We use the NEAT glass in our sensory evaluation events to fully illustrate the finer points and nuances of each spirit without assaulting the nose and palate with distracting and unpleasant burning. Being able to pick out individual flavor and aroma notes in the spirit is crucial for a new distiller to develop their nose. The NEAT glass accomplishes this on every level.

Media Review
Bartender Magazine Review
“Whiskey drinkers, rejoice! Forget traditional shapes of glasses that direct all the whiskey’s aromas to the nose; here’s a scientifically-designed glass that lets “the alcohol smell” escape, and emphasizes only the pleasant aromas.”
Whisky Belfast Review
“…”NEAT” glass is an absolute triumph. To allow you access to the whisky in so much detail but then bringing out the fresher notes towards the end goes against anything I was expecting. All the flavors on show in the Glencairn were here in the “NEAT” glass in abundance but without any sting on the nostrils. Fantastic stuff.”
Spirits Review
“Does remove the alcohol vapors quite a bit when nosing and tasting, allowing you to concentrate on all the other aspects of a particular spirit and lets you enjoy and or evaluate all the other facets without the alcohol overlaying or interfering with your nosing – quite remarkable!”
Gear Diary Review
“the NEAT glass would make a wonderful gift for anyone who appreciates fine spirits. In your own home bar, the amount of extra enjoyment achieved from discovering new things about your old favorites is priceless. Pros use the NEAT Ultimate Spirits Glass when they judge at international competitions, and now you can have the same equipment at home.“
The Whiskey Reviewer Review
“The NEAT Glass has distinct advantages over a snifter, and I recommend giving it a try. Even if you are satisfied with your snifter, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised.“
Stogies On the Rocks Review
” I’m super impressed. It’ll become my new default glass for formal reviews and first experiences. ” “Really great last sip! Even when the glass is almost empty there is still a good amount of “whiskey legs” clinging to the sides of the glass from swirling. This creates a flavor and aroma bomb when you almost tip the glass upside down to get the last drink.”
