Description
Extreme II: Lanchi’s Rotating Johnnie Walker Blue Label Glass
The Extreme II is one of the signature designs of Lanchi, the recycled glass artist who created Green Glass in Argentina in 2015. From a single original Johnnie Walker Blue Label bottle he creates a two-piece set: a rotating glass with a precision-balanced base that spins on its own axis, and a stand made from the heavy blue base of the same bottle. It is a collector’s piece, conceived as an object of design as much as a whisky glass.
A Collector’s Piece, Made Piece by Piece
Every set is cut, balanced and hand-polished at Green Glass, one piece at a time, and many of the Johnnie Walker bottles we work with are no longer made. An inscription engraved on the glass makes the set unique and unrepeatable.

The Story of This Glass
How do you reinvent an icon? At Green Glass, we bring it to life. We present the Extreme II, a piece that transcends conventional glassware to become an experience of engineering and design. This is the ultimate expression of our collection.
Lanchi conceived this masterpiece to be more than just a glass. Therefore, we created this exclusive two-piece set of high-end quality from the iconic Blue Label bottle.
Engineering and Motion: The Two-Piece Set
The architecture of this piece is what makes it unique. In our workshop, we transform a single bottle into a perfect tasting system through two essential components:
- The Rotating Glass: The upper part becomes a tasting glass with a precision-balanced flat base. Thanks to its millimetric balance, the crystal rotates fluidly on its axis. Furthermore, this hypnotic movement constantly oxygenates the whisky to enhance its character.
- The Signature Glass Stand: The original base of the bottle, featuring its prestigious heavy blue crystal, acts as the exclusive support. Consequently, this “nest” provides the stability and distinction that a premium spirit deserves.
A Sensory Tasting Experience
The constant rotation serves a technical purpose beyond aesthetics. This movement helps the spirit breathe, releasing complex aromas gradually. Thus, it offers a sophisticated and interactive way to enjoy whisky. It is ideal for collectors or those seeking the best rotating whiskey glass with an unparalleled visual impact.
Artisanal Personalization
To seal the exclusivity of this artwork, each set can include an inscription engraved on the glass. In this way, we transform a design object into a unique and unrepeatable piece. This process consolidates the quality standard that Lanchi prints on every Green Glass creation.
