Whisk(e)y Glasses

Sorry, can't help you there but I hope you don't mind if I use your thread to ask whiskey drinkers what sort of glasses they favour for drinking whiskey.

Personally, I like a Cognac glass, a small wine glass or an ISO tasting glass.


I've never understood how the straight sided tumbler became the standard whiskey glass. For me, it does nothing for the spirit.

That would work, alright.
Same at the Penderyn glasses which I've liked the look of.

I have a few of those ... a nice traditional whiskey glass. And in all fairness not a bad whiskey glass to savour a relaxed whiskey insead of those horrid whiskey tumblers which lose alot of the nose because they are so wide.

I aquired mine from a publica or two but I'm not sure they were aware of the acquisition

If you want to seriously explore you whiskey a glencairn or even the copita style glass that "the beer revolu" showed a pic of ....

Here are a few examples that I have




1. American Style Whiskey shot Glass
2. rolly polly bottomed glass
3. Circular Cut crystal tumbler
4. Bowmore Thistle shaped tumbler
5. Bushmills square tumbler
6. Shot glass (Classy )
7. A wine shaped glass without a stem
8. Glencarin
9. Traditional Irish WHsikey glass
10. Thistle shaped copita glass
11. Copita Glass

The Irish Whiskey Society sell their own branded Glencairn glasses.

Unfortunately I've only ever seen then in pubs .. so how you would get them is a moral dilemma Actually asking to buy sometimes works.
