Know before you buy
The Glencairn glass features a tapered mouth that concentrates the whiskey's aromas toward the nose, allowing you to better detect subtle notes. Its wide bowl also provides ample room for the spirit to breathe, which significantly enhances the overall tasting experience.
Yes, the glasses are dishwasher-resistant. However, because they are made of fine lead-free crystal, we recommend placing them on the top rack or washing them by hand to prevent potential clouding or breakage over time.
The mug serves as a versatile companion piece to the tasting glasses. It is ideal for serving water to cleanse your palate between drams or for enjoying a warm cocktail or coffee alongside your whiskey tasting.
Each glass stands 4.57 inches (116 mm) tall with a diameter of 2.56 inches (65 mm). They have a capacity of approximately 6.43 ounces (190 mL), which is the standard size designed for a proper pour.
