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.

Perfect accompaniment to a good book and/or a pipe full of your favorite tobacco. Previous to this purchase, I drank my scotch in a tumbler. I now have two of these; one for me and one for a friend. A fine single malt scotch deserves a fine glass in which to enjoy it.
Bravo. Enter the Glencairn - first word "WOW", second statement "OH MY". The design enhances the experience and takes it to the level that most Single Malt indulgers are trying & looking to find. I have always used glasses designed for other spirits or wines when enjoying the Single Malt Experience.
