While the Rauk Heavy Tumbler is indeed dishwasher safe, and quite durable, we always recommend hand washing and drying with a non-abrasive cloth to ensure the long and sparkling life of your heavy tumbler of choice.

We made this tumbler for those who enjoy sipping their whisky on the rocks. You can most certainly use any variety of ice or whisky stone in the Heavy Tumbler. 

The Rauk Heavy Tumbler is probably one of the most versatile glasses in your home bar arsenal. You can serve an Old Fashioned, Sidecar, Negroni, Godfather, Whisky Sour, Sazerac and many more classic or modern cocktails in the tumbler.

If you prefer a tall glass for serving mixed beverages such as Scotch and soda, whiskey and ginger, or gin and tonic, we recommend checking out our Vawe Highball Glass.

Pre-chilling a glass tumbler in advance of making a cocktail is a common practice. We'll often add ice and water to our Heavy Tumbler and place in the freezer briefly before the addition of our cocktail.

That being said, we do not recommend ever subjecting the glass to thermal shock by transferring a recently washed tumbler that may hold residual heat directly into the freezer. And no, we do not recommend storing the tumbler in the freezer for any extended period of time.

The Rauk Heavy Tumbler was developed with two primary purposes in mind: for the enjoyment of whisky on the rocks and for appreciating crafted cocktails served in an Old Fashioned sized glass. 

Because ice cools the spirit, which then diminishes aroma, the tumbler is not intended for those who find nosing to be an important aspect of the drinking experience. For those who seek an elevated aromatic experience and prefer drinking neat, we suggest using the Norlan Whisky Glass.
