Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of The Glencairn Glass - "The Official Whisky Glass"
Customer Review: A must for anyone serious about scotch.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have only been drinking scotch for about a year now, but I have yet to drink out of anything that comes close to enhancing the taste and smell of scotch like this glass has.
The the bottom half encourages evaporation through its surface area and contact with your hand while the narrow top focuses the smell. All this comes together to enhance the aroma and this most certainly enhances the drinking experience. With other glasses I feel that I have to get my nose way too close to smell anything.
A must buy and a wonderful addition to the cabinet.
Description of The Glencairn Glass - "The Official Whisky Glass"
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.Drinkware & Glassware
