Created by Maximilian Eicke, founder of glassware brand MAX ID NY, The Sexton Ghost Tumbler set invokes the dark amber color of the Irish whiskey it’s been designed to hold. Further, the vessel’s distinctly angular shape calls to mind the geometries of The Sexton bottle itself. Each glass is handblown, thus no two are exactly the same—and yet they’re stackable and dishwasher safe.

Mood Valiant is Australian jazz-funk band Hiatus Kaiyote’s first new record since 2015’s Choose Your Weapon, and it’s available to pre-order as a limited edition glow-in-the-dark vinyl.
