Whisky Glasses as a Premium Gift

Whisky glasses are tableware that turns drinking alcohol into a real ritual. The aroma and taste of whisky are fully revealed only in the right glass. So if you are looking for the perfect gift for a connoisseur of premium strong spirits, you simply cannot find a better option than a whisky set.

What materials are whisky glasses made of?

Whisky tumblers are made of glass and crystal.

Glass tumblers usually have a smooth surface and thick walls. Experts advise choosing a set of tumblers made of tempered glass, which is strong and resistant to mechanical damage and temperature changes.

Crystal glasses look extremely impressive and let you enjoy the rich colour of the drink, while the melodious ring of crystal is always associated with celebration and helps create a special atmosphere. However, bear in mind that exclusive crystal glasses are fragile and sensitive to temperature changes and scratches.

Types of whisky glasses

There are many varieties of whisky glasses, but the most popular are the following classic options:

• Highball. A whisky tumbler with a volume of 200 ml. It can be used both for the drink neat and for cocktails based on it. A highball can be round or have 8 or 16 facets.
• Shot Glass. A glass with a volume of 40–60 ml, similar in shape to a vodka shot glass. It is intended for quickly drinking an alcoholic beverage, so it does not reveal all the shades of its taste and aroma.
• Nosing. A whisky glass with a volume of 100 ml and a narrowed top, which allows you to get the maximum enjoyment from the aroma of the drink.
• Rocks. A glass with thick walls and a massive wide base, which can have a volume from 100 to 320 ml. Because of its shape it does not allow you to properly appreciate the taste and aroma of whisky, so it can be bought for drinking inexpensive varieties of this drink.
• Tulip. The name of this glass fully matches its shape, which resembles a tulip on a long elegant stem. Its volume is from 100 to 150 ml. The tulip allows the drink to fully reveal its taste and aroma, so it is ideal for tasting expensive single malt whiskies.
