13 60 104 Magnum

Mouth-blown and manually produced in Slovenia without the use of moulds. Decanters are made in 20-piece batches, no more frequently than annually. Every item is individually hand-engraved in Mayfair, London and includes a Certificate of Provenance giving its unique production number (please provide the owner’s name to appear on the certificate). Decanters are shipped in a wooden wine box and are surrounded with wood shavings for protection.

Why the 13° 60° 104°? The three alternative positions for the decanter.

According to some, the decanter started the evening sober at 13 degrees. At sixty degrees, the decanter was a touch tipsy. By nightfall, it had reached an inebriated 104 degrees.
