We have chunky base, straight sided tumblers from DartingtonâŚ
Our original pair were âperfectsâ but got etched in the dishwasher, so were replaced by âimperfectsâ from the factory shop in Grt Torrington.

Itâs horrendous for any kid.
Then later on, you might get introduced with horrendous whisky that puts you off.
Or itâs just not for you, which is fine as well.
