The Glencairn whisky glass is the perfect size and shape for a 35 ml serving, leaving room to add water and enhance the flavour. The wide, bowl-shaped base allows optimum contact of the liquid with the air, which promotes the development of the flavours. The tapered rim of the glass helps to collect and concentrate the flavours of the drink so that they can be better perceived. The clear crystal glass brings out the colour of the whisky. The base of the glass is designed for stability, making it easy to hold in the hand. Since its launch in 2001, the Glencairn whisky glass has won numerous awards, including the Queens Award for Innovation, and has established itself as the profile glass for distilleries worldwide.
