A Decanter Collection That Pays Respect to Scotland

The Alba Collection not only tastefully pays homage to whiskey’s historical home of Scotland, the decanter set does so in a modern and minimalist way. Designed by Joe Doucet for Nude Glass, the pieces feature a deconstructed Tartan pattern that’s hand engraved on the bottoms adding subtle texture to the clear glass.

The decanter holds a stopper that leans to the side, which they invite you to point towards the direction of Scotland.

Wondering where the collection got its name? Alba is Gaelic for Scotland.
