Cibi Double Blade Runner Whisky Glass (Twin Pack) 37cl

Product Information

Arnolfo di Cambio, the Italian glassmaker behind the famous tumbler, has decided to rebrand it as the Blade Runner Glass, according to HypeBeast.

Did you know, in 2017 Johnnie Walker released a strictly limited edition Black Label “The Director’s Cut” Whisky in the very unusual shaped bottle portrayed in Blade Runner? The company thought nothing of the purchase until the next year when Blade Runner was released and several scenes showed Ford’s Deckard drinking Johnny Walker Black out of the Double Old Fashioned Glass.

The 1982 dystopian science fiction action film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, and Sean Young - and it’s sequel directed by Denis Villeneuve. While the glassmaker has never stopped making the popular X-shaped glass, the brand seems to have decided it was time to just cut to the chase and name it after the movie that made it famous.

The Blade Runner glass is the double old fashioned glass from the Cibi collection, designed by Cini Boeri and made by Arnolfo di Cambio, makers of Italian handmade crystal since 1963. The glass was designed by renowned Italian designer Cini Boeri in 1973, and is produced by Arnolfo di Cambio, one of Italy’s most respected glass makers.

It’s not just the tumbler that has been rebranded as the Blade Runner Glass, but the entire Cibi line. The Blade Runner whisky glass is made from hand blown crystal glass by Arnolfo di Cambio, the original Italian company who has been making them since 1974.

Unlike the Cibi whisky glass, the unusual shaped Johnnie Walker bottle was not commercially available. These same glasses also make a star appearance in Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities – The Viewing episode. The following year the movie Blade Runner, Ridley Scott’s visionary masterpiece, was released in cinemas. Unless of course they are saying that of all the glasses they make the only make this model in black (for a limited time) in which case we're screwed. The neutral buoyancy sinks slowly aiding simple recapture of the magnet and will not plummet to the bottom of the tank if it is knocked off, causing potential damage to delicate corals.

I previously mentioned these Blade Runner whisky glasses in my light-hearted article Perfect Pairings, and it achieved a large amount of hits so I thought that I would try and discover more about these ‘Cibi’ glasses. The CIBI collection is characterized by the X-shaped body, which not only gives movement but also allows an easy and firm grip. Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . He also changed the way people enjoy sipping whisky with the introduction of tumbler that Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford, used throughout the film. The Brand has selected the six most representative prints of the collection, declining them on products and materials.

With the release of Blade Runner 2049, I thought I would take a quick look at the history surrounding the Cibi Double Old Fashioned Glass as used by Rick Deckard in the original Blade Runner film released in 1982. In the original Blade Runner, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is seen drinking Johnnie Walker Black Label Blended Scotch Whisky out of his Cibi double old-fashion tumbler.
