In 2001 Glencairn Crystal solved the problem of identifying the ideal glass for whisky. Designed by Raymond Davidson nearly 25 years earlier, its development involved pulling together the master blenders from the five largest whisky companies and asking them to perfect his initial design. Today the Glencairn Glass can be found at every distillery in Scotland, Ireland, Wales as well as most in the USA.
To be able to fully recognize the attributes of your whisky, the color, palette, body, finish, and nose must be taken into consideration. This glass will make you appreciate all five especially the “nose” part where you get to get the aroma directly to your nose because of its well-designed form.
It has been applauded by Master Blenders around the world both as a whisky glass and as an enterprise
- Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2012
- Queen’s Award for Innovation – Glencairn Glass 2006
Our Glencairn glasses are Authentic, straight from the UK. They are made out of Crystal and will not break after a few uses like some other aftermarket ones. How to tell? Look at the bottom of the base of the glass, you will see the Glencairn logo on there.
