The carafe is very Okey for money. Schade's just the closure of non-glass as described and the carafe itself also not too hard so that one does not feel what to have Qualitatively good in the hand. She is though quite nice when you consider that there are decanters of 100 and more. All in all, you can not go far wrong. For the cheap whiskey around the corner it is definitely a worth buying. Price performance is also true if you are not too demanding. But those who buy no carafe for 10 s. So the bottom line is just so thumbs up. :-)
