Glencairn Official Whisky Glass 6 Pieces

The Glencairn whisky tasting glass, officially recognised by Scottish distillers.

Champagne, grappa, wine... Everyone has their glass.

Yet whisky, the world's most complex spirit, can be found served in everything from highball glasses to goblets in Paris.

In 2001, Glencairn solved the problem of identifying the ideal whisky glass.

The Glencairn glass is the solution to all the problems of tasting young or mature whiskies.

Designed by Raymond Davidson almost 25 years before it went into production, its development involved bringing together the master blenders of the five largest whisky companies and asking them to refine his initial design.

The result was The Glencairn Glass, a whisky glass... Finally.

Designed to help educate the consumer and help the average whisky drinker to enhance the experience of tasting both young and mature whiskies, it concentrates the flavours and has an excellent ratio for the oxidation of the whisky.

The time and effort put into all this development was rewarded in 2006 when the Glencairn Glasses won the Queen's Award for Innovation.

The design received the Queens Award for Innovation and went on to receive numerous marketing awards.

Today the glass can be found in use by every distillery in the UK and Ireland and many more around the world, from craft distillers in the USA to Far East brands such as Kavalan.
