Warm the brandy, wake the aroma.
Brandy served cold keeps its secrets. Give it a little gentle warmth and it opens right up. Sit a tea light beneath the stand, rest your snifter in the gold cradle, and wait five or ten minutes. The aroma lifts, the flavour rounds out, and an ordinary evening becomes something closer to a ritual. This is the Hemswell Crystal brandy warmer, in brass plated steel with a warm gold finish.
◆
Warms gently, in minutes
A low tea light flame brings a brandy or cognac up to temperature in five to ten minutes. Warm enough to lift the aroma, never so hot that it scorches the spirit.
◆
Brass plated steel, built to last
Solid, weighted and finished in warm gold. It feels like a proper piece of barware rather than a gimmick, and it looks the part left out on display.
◆
A handle that earns its place
The carry handle lets you lift and move the cradle with ease, even with a glass resting in it. Reviewers point to it as the detail that makes the difference.
◆
Tea lights included
Your set arrives with standard tea lights ready to go. Each one burns for around four hours, so it is set for the whole evening from the moment you open the box.
◆
Use your own snifter
No glass to break in the post and nothing to match. The cradle holds your own brandy snifter, and it works best with a glass of around 8oz, such as our Wicklow or Glenrigg snifters.
◆
Made to be given
It arrives gift boxed and ready to hand over. For the brandy lover who has the bottle but not the ceremony, it is hard to beat.
In the box: the gold brandy warmer stand, the tea light holder, and a set of tea lights to get you started. A brandy glass is not included, so you can pair it with your own. The cradle suits a standard snifter and works best with a glass of around 8oz.
How it works
Light a tea light and sit it in the holder beneath the stand. Rest your brandy snifter in the gold cradle above the flame. In five to ten minutes the glass is warm to the touch and the brandy has opened up. Swirl it, nose it, and take your time. It is not only for brandy, either. A cognac, an Armagnac, a dark rum or a peaty whisky all reward a little gentle warmth.

Frequently asked questions
Is a glass included?
No. The set includes the gold stand, the tea light holder and tea lights, but not a snifter, so you can pair it with your own. The cradle suits a standard brandy snifter and works best with a glass of around 8oz, such as our Wicklow or Glenrigg snifters.
Are tea lights included?
Yes. Standard tea lights come in the box, each burning for around four hours, so you can use it the moment it arrives.
How long does it take to warm the brandy?
Around five to ten minutes. The flame is gentle, so it warms the spirit enough to open the aroma without overheating it.
What size tea lights does it use?
Standard tea lights, the same ones you would find in any shop. Keep the wick trimmed short for a low, steady flame.
Will the gold finish tarnish?
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after use and keep it dry, and the warm gold finish will stay looking its best.
Can I use it for other spirits?
Yes. Brandy and cognac are the natural fit, but an Armagnac, a dark rum or a peaty whisky all enjoy a little gentle warmth too.
Does it come gift boxed?
Yes. It arrives in a gift box, tea lights included, ready to give.
