Product Description
Glencairn Crystal is recognised as the UKs leading source for decorated crystal and glassware. The Glencairn Glass differs from other glasses in that it is was designed entirely for whisky. Old fashioned Tumblers and nosing copitas are the two glasses most commonly used for drinking whisky. The traditional style of whisky glass is a cut crystal old fashioned whisky tumbler. This iconic style of glass remains the most commonly associated style of whisky glass. This style of glass does not however enhance the whisky by any means. The wide straight bowl and mouth does not focus aromas and detracts from the appreciation of any flavours. The design of the Glencairn Glass on the other hand is based upon the design of the traditional nosing glasses used by whisky blenders around the world. In fact, the design of this extraordinary glass was concluded with the aid of Master Blenders from five of the largest whisky companies in Scotland.
