Glencairn-Style Whiskey Glass Set

Description

The Neesay Bar Glencairn-Style Whiskey Glass is the world’s most recognized tasting vessel for Scotch, bourbon, and Irish whiskey. The tapered mouth concentrates aromatics while the wide bowl allows you to appreciate color and swirl. The thick solid base fits naturally in the palm, warming the spirit gently from below — a feature that releases volatile compounds and opens up a pour’s full nose. Each glass holds 6 ounces with a recommended 1.5 to 2 ounce tasting pour. Formed from lead-free crystal with a pulled rim that tapers to a fine edge. The shape is endorsed by the Scotch Whisky Association as the ideal vessel for evaluating single malts, and it is equally at home with bourbon, rye, and world whiskey. Short enough to fit in a jacket pocket for portable tasting events. Available in sets of two or four. Hand-wash to maintain clarity. If you taste whiskey with any seriousness, this is the glass to own — everything else is a compromise.
