Description
The Glencairn Crystal Whiskey Tasting Glass Set is a set of six glasses designed specifically for whiskey. It was created by Raymond Davidson to provide a proper glass for enjoying the complex spirit. The design was inspired by traditional nosing and tasting glasses used by experts in the whiskey industry. The unique shape of the glass enhances the drinking experience by allowing for ease of drinking and capturing the whiskey's aroma. The glass has received recognition and awards, and is now used at distilleries around the world. It has a diameter of 1-3/4 inches, a height of 4-1/2 inches, and a capacity of 6 ounces.
Champagne, Brandy, Wine... each has its own glass. Yet whiskey, the world's most complex spirit, can be found served in anything from highball tumblers to Paris goblets. It's a bit like pouring your vintage champagne into a pint tumbler or your XO brandy into a shot glass! Raymond Davidson decided it was about time someone designed a proper whiskey glass, a single definitive glass that the whiskey would call its own. Following in the tradition of Scottish innovation, the Glencairn glass has arrived. Its roots lie in the traditional nosing and tasting glasses used by master blenders and connoisseurs around the world. Combining the knowledge and expertise of some of the whiskey world's leading innovators, the unique and stylish shape has been crafted with eminent care to enhance the enjoyment of single malts and aged blends. The tapering mouth allows an ease of drinking not associated with traditional nosing glasses, while capturing that all-important bouquet. The wide bowl allows for the fullest appreciation of the whiskey's color and the solid base is designed to be easy on the hand. Today, the Glencairn glass can be found at every distillery in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, as well as most in the USA. It has won accolades from around the world including the Queen Award, the highest award for business in the UK. It may have taken a few hundred years to arrive, but whiskey now has a glass of its own.1-3/4" diameter x 4-1/2" H, with a 6 ounce capacity
