Omnidirectional Whisky Decanters

The Alba Collection of Liquor Accessories Opts for a Minimalism

— June 2, 2016 — Lifestyle
Joe Doucet is a talented designer that has put together the Alba Collection featuring a series of whisky decanters that pay homage to classic Scottish blends. The glass bottles opt for a minimalistic aesthetic that focuses on curved forms complete with an omnidirectional stone stopper for added elegance. The decanters are ideal for consumers interested in collecting whisky to display their favorite varieties.

The Alba Collection is a sophisticated range of modern glass vessels that commemorate the history and heritage in Scottish whisky culture. The designs opt for wider basins with a base that is similarly shaped to that of a cup. The glass used is engraved by hand with traditional Tartan designs. The leaning stopper allows for subtle air circulation. According to MOCO LOCO, Doucet encourages "... the owner to always point the stopper in the direction of Scotland."
