Know before you buy
Yes, this is an authentic Glencairn design specifically engineered to concentrate the aromas of whiskey for a better tasting experience.
The diamond-cut finish adds a textured grip to the exterior of the glass, which provides a tactile, premium feel compared to standard smooth-sided tasting glasses.
Yes, this glass is crafted from high-quality, lead-free crystal, ensuring it is safe for regular use while maintaining the clarity and weight expected of fine glassware.
While the glass holds 6 ounces, it is designed for a standard 1.5 to 2-ounce pour. This leaves enough room in the bowl for the spirit to breathe and for the aromas to collect at the tapered rim.
To preserve the clarity and prevent scratching on the diamond-cut pattern, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying with a soft, lint-free cloth.
