Riedel H2O Whisky Glass

Product Information

Ensure you've spaced out your whiskey tasting glasses away from other ceramics or sharp objects to prevent scratching during the cleaning process. Depending on the type of whiskey nosing or tasting glass you own, the maintenance and care could vary. Regardless, a few delicate tips to remember when washing your crystal whiskey glasses include the following: Dishwasher Method One of the pleased shoppers said that this nosing glass is his favorite one. He mentioned that he owns other long and short-stemmed tulips, snifters, and other grappa glasses, but this one provides the best function for whiskey tasting. Why We Think It’s Great It's also perfect for drinking whiskey straight with its unique 2-ounce pour indicator etch (the top of the triangle at the bottom measures exactly 2 ounces),” adds Voisey. Note that the larger size allows for a few chunks of ice to a dram of whiskey. Don’t bother with these unless you hate the taste of whiskey and just want to chase it with beer. No connoisseur would deign to throw their expensive expression down the hatch in one big gulp. Sure, you could sip from a shot glass, but why would you? Its small size makes it hard to handle and too easy to spill your precious dram. Brands Glencairn

Many of the world’s top tasting competitions use this Neat Glass option as their standard tasting glass, and with good reason: Each glass is thoughtfully mouth-blown from lead-free crystal. The heavier weight of the glass—similar to what you’d get from antique crystal—is also a nice touch. The wide mouth provides excellent ventilation for drinking alcohol because it has a shape similar in size and form as what you would find when surveying your drink from all angles - this makes sure there are no missed opportunities during taste testing! Who Should Buy It Glencairn whisky glass is a nosing glass best of its kind – and they are not expensive whiskey glasses. So probably the best whisky glasses in the world don’t even cost much. Unless you want the engraved version, those Glencairns are some expensive whiskey glasses. Worth the price, though. There are lots of designer whisky glasses out there, that will do the same Glencairn does, but it will cost you extra money. Schott and Riedel are brands who produce similar kind of glasses as Glencairn does. Glencairn do make higher priced whisky glasses as well, I’ve bumped into more detailed crystal glass versions of the original Glencairn whisky glass. But for me, the original will do just fine. Maybe I’ll get it engraved at some point. This whiskey glass was specifically designed for Canadian whisky, but of course it works great for any kind of malt whisky, blend or bourbon. The wide bowl allows much room for whiskey and the base is designed easy to hold. Larger than the original Glencairn nosing glass, but with similar shape. Looks perfect to me, I can imagine appreciating cheaper whiskies much more with this glass. Like stated before, Glencairn Canadian mixer has plenty of room to add ice or whisky stones if that’s your “cup of tea”. Another promising entry to our list of the best whiskey nosing glasses is the Eisch Malt Whiskey Nosing Glass. Handmade in Germany, a sleek touch on craftsmanship includes a classic whiskey tumbler with a slightly flared rim that aids in activating the dynamic layers on your palate. A beginner whiskey drinker will find this glass rather useful in contrast to other single malt whiskey glasses.Broadly, whiskey glassware design is very nostalgic. So much Gilded Age. So much Art Deco. This means the combination of well-made and simple can be hard to find. Where there is a niche—but very annoying—problem in the barware world, Riedel usually has an offshoot collection to fill the gap. There is not really a difference between Scotch and whiskey glasses. You can drink bourbon from a Glencairn and you can drink Scotch from a tumbler. It’s really a "choose your own adventure" situation.

Glencairn's Whiskey & Sherry Nosing Copita Glass is made with lead-free crystal and comes with a cap. The cap helps the whiskey sit after a good stir, wherein the aroma intertwines with the oxygen and sufficiently develops the whiskey's layers. This stemmed glass has a unique tulip bowl shape that allows for a generous pour. Don't apply pressure between your thumb and index finger when polishing the stem to avoid snapping. Nachtmann brings luxury to the barware. They have their own barware set called Noblesse – which includes whiskey tumblers and carafe. They also have whisky glassware set called Aspen with a non-leaded decanter and whiskey tumblers, which by the way are made out of lead crystal. Lead is not good when storing whiskey for quite long time. With whisky glasses there’s probably no harm done but if you want to be sure – buy lead-free glasses for your whiskey.The leading facet of the Viski Seneca Crystal Tumbler is the design. Although, it's more than meets the eye and has user-friendly qualities that have been celebrated time and again. This lead-free crystal glass features a triangular base and trigonal sides, creating a built-in light show thanks to the refracted light. Whiskey nosing glasses, more often than not, are dishwasher safe. However, a few brands are not; thus, washing your Viski Seneca Crystal Tumbler should be cleaned at a low temperature set to "delicate washing." This glass offers a rare combination of quality and style at an affordable price. Taking its name from Scotland’s River Spey, an area that is renowned for producing fine whisky, the glass features a chic Art Nouveau-inspired design full of diamond and wedge cuts. Even when you’re not drinking, these glasses, which come in a set of two, are so stunning that they'll work as a showpiece in your den, kitchen, or dining room.
