Whisky glasses
Which is the right whisky glass? I'm sure every whisky connoisseur has asked themselves this question at some point. In the end, every whisky lover has to answer this question for themselves. But we will give you a few helpful tips and hints on how to find your appropriate whisky glass. Whisky glasses come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The basic question for choosing the right whisky glass is: How do you want to enjoy your whisky? If the answer is "I drink my whisky neat and without ice", then you are in good hands with a nosing glass. Nosing glasses support the tulip shape when locking or nosing, as they concentrate the aromas in the glass. Nosing glasses are available with and without a style, but the effect is the same. Typical non-styled nosing glasses are Glencairn glasses. If you want to enjoy your whisky with ice as a cocktail or just like that without any fuss, the whisky tumbler is your whisky glass of choice. Tumblers are characterised by a wide shape that can hold large ice cubes. This is perfect for bourbon and rye whiskeys as well as delicious whiskey cocktails such as the Old Fashioned or Sazerac. Whiskey tumblers should have a thick glass base, which prevents the ice cube from melting faster due to the heat of your hand. The larger the ice, the better, as this also prevents it from melting and watering down too quickly. We hope we have been able to help you choose your whisky glass. Happy shopping!
