01 — The project

AURYN BLEND

The original was a surface model: the glass was a 0.3 mm skin with no real wall, so it had no measured capacity.

The 2026 model keeps the drawn form and gives it real glass: 4 mm walls, an 8 mm base that follows the punt, a ground-glass stopper shank with a 1:10 taper, and the medallion seated on its facet. The label now reads Blended Malt Whisky · Product of Spain. The images on this page are the original renders and drawings; the figures describe the re-engineered model.

03 — Project status

CAD-developed concept
Stage
CAD-developed conceptThe product modelled in CAD to the depth the page states — exterior, key interfaces and the checks listed. Not built or physically validated.
What exists
The original Rhino model, renders and drawings, and the 2026 re-engineered model with its measured capacity and wall checks.
Physical evidence
None.
Not claimed
  • A physical prototype or glass sample
  • An airtight stopper seal: the ground-glass joint needs a glassmaker's check
