Know before you buy
The tapered mouth of the Glencairn glass is specifically designed to concentrate the aromas of the spirit toward your nose. This shape allows you to better appreciate the complex bouquet of a whiskey before you take a sip.
Adding a few drops of water to high-proof whiskey can lower the alcohol intensity and release hidden aromatic compounds. The pitcher allows you to add water precisely and elegantly to your glass.
While these glasses are made from high-quality crystal, we recommend hand-washing them with warm water and a mild detergent. This prevents potential clouding or accidental breakage in the dishwasher.
No, the logo is a decorative element applied to the exterior of the glass. It does not interfere with the shape or the functionality of the glass in any way.
Yes, the nosing glasses are excellent for any spirit where aroma is a key component of the experience, such as aged rum, cognac, or high-end tequila.
