Whisky Glasses: Choose Wisely. Choose Glencairn.

1/28/2022

 
Picture
For those starting their journey into the world of Scotch Whisky, selecting the right malt can sometimes be confusing and downright intimidating. However, a great starting point is choosing the right #whiskyglass. A good choice there would be to choose the world’s favorite glass for those who know whiskies of all types - The Glencairn Glass. This is the glass designed and owned by our friends at Glencairn Crystal that was created to help us enjoy all the character and all the subtle nuances of our favorite tipple. 

And while there may be plenty to learn about the many great distilleries from Scotland when you are beginning, we’ve found a great article from Distiller.com to steer you in the right direction. Here’s a link to their article on great "beginner" Scotch whiskies to start your education with:

Meanwhile, while you may worry about the choosing the right whisky, you should never worry about the glass you drink it from. Choose wisely. Choose Glencairn.

​Both you - and your guests - will be glad you did.

More smiles on more faces.

Your American Single Malt Whiskey Deserves A Great Glass, Too!

1/12/2022

 
Picture
There are a great many whiskies that come from, literally, all corners of the globe. But, when you hear the term “single malt whisky” the first thought is of Scotland as the origin. However, the Whisky Advocate magazine just published a terrific story on the growing emergence of American Single Malt Whiskeys. In their story, writer Ted Simmons offers up several examples what’s available and how different American single malt whiskeys can be.

Here’s a link to the story:

The good news is that no matter what part of the world you choose your whisky from, we have a variety of #bestinclass whisky glasses to drink it from. Starting with the world’s favorite whisky glass The Glencairn Glass and our own Nosing Glass, the possibilities to make your customers smile are endless. Cheers!

Glencairn Glass 20th Anniversary: 5 Steps to Better Whisky

6/26/2020

 
Picture
During this 20th Anniversary year of the Glencairn Glass, we thought it only proper that we provide a certain level of "guidance" on how to use the glass for maximum whisky enjoyment. Here are 5 steps for making sure you are getting the most from this uniquely and specifically-designed whisky glass:

1. Colour
Is your whisky pale gold, deep gold, copper or rich amber in colour?

How to use
This indicates the type of cask in which the liquid has been matured.
 
2. Nose
Which aromas do you recognise when you nose your whisky – is it smoky, fruity, chocolatey…?

How to use
Give it time; the scents change in the glass all the time. Add a drop of water -The amount is up to you (but enough to remove any prickle or burning sensation felt on the nose) – and sniff again. Has the spirit opened up or closed down?
 
3. Body
Does your whisky have a light, medium or full body?

How to use
As you swirl the whisky in the glass does it cling to the sides and do the “legs” slide down slowly or quickly? Thick, slow running “legs” indicate a more dense texture; whilst thin fast moving “legs” suggest the opposite. Both are good!
 
4. Palate
Which characteristics do you notice when you taste the whisky?

How to use
First, sip the whisky without adding water. Identify the balance of ‘primary tastes’ – sweet (on the front of your tongue), salty and acidic (at the sides) and bitter or dry, spicy and smoky (at the back). Then add a little water. This makes it easier to hold the liquid in your mouth for longer and further explore its taste. If you can resist temptation and leave a little liquid in the glass for 20 minutes or so, return to nose and taste to explore how the flavour has developed.
 
5. Finish
Does the flavour remain for a long time or does it disappear quickly?

How to use
Whiskies from the Glencairn Glass are best enjoyed neat or with a little water. Consider whether the flavours linger, slowly change or disappear quite quickly.
