Find Out Why You Need a Glencairn Whiskey Glass to Make the Most Out of Your Whiskey!
Did you know that the Glencairn whiskey glass was created by a man named Raymond Davidson who dreamed of the perfect whisky glass? His unique design didn’t make it into production until his sons teamed up with the best in the whiskey industry 25 years later in 2001 to promote it with Glencairn Crystal at the helm. Since then, the Glencairn glass has been known by connoisseurs all over the world as the best whiskey glass on the market. The tapered lip and curvy body reveal the hidden aromas and secret ingredients within your scotch or bourbon, creating the best drinking experience every time. This unique shape distinguishes the glass even at a quick glance from a standard tasting whiskey glass. Whether you’re looking for original Glencairn glasses, personalized ones, or even the Canadian stemless glasses, we found the best of all of them.
Set of Custom Glencairn Whiskey Glasses
At first glance, the Glencairn whisky glass doesn’t look like much. It’s oddly shaped and quite small, but you notice that it does fit well in the hand. You see, whiskey is a liquor that is meant to be experienced rather than chugged like vodka. You want to savor the flavor, examine the aromas, and admire the quality as you slowly sip. With these glasses, you and three of your friends will be amazed at how much better your whiskey tastes. This is achieved through the special design: the wide, tapered bowl allows you to admire the amber color as well as enhances the aromas. The narrowed lip makes it easier for you to take smaller sips while collecting the exotic scents and directing it straight to your nose as you do.
Crystal Glencairn Glass
Certainly a step above regular engraved Glencairn whiskey glasses, this crystal version is quite attractive. The circlet of cut crystal is almost like a crown, amplifying the colors of your fine scotch inside it. It has all of the bells and whistles as a normal Glencairn, but with a bit of extra aesthetic that makes it ideal for using at formal occasions such as Christmas dinner with the family or your anniversary with your sweetheart.
Ultimate Whiskey Connoisseur Set
Why stop at a Glencairn whiskey glass when you could get a whole matching whiskey set? You and a friend will be able to enjoy whiskey as it was meant to be: poured from a decanter into a Glencairn and chilled with whiskey stones, all thanks to this unique whiskey gift set. This complete set is perfect for after-dinner drinks with someone who enjoys fine scotch as much as your do. Plus, the engraving on the entire set is certainly a step above anything your friends have in their home bars! You can even use the gift box to store the Glencairns for safekeeping or your prized liquor bottles.

Each glass is emblazoned with a small pewter crest that bears a single initial of your choice. You can store them in the custom engraved box for safekeeping when not in use as well.
Canadian Glencairn Glasses Set
You’re familiar with the standard Glencairn whiskey glasses, but have you seen the Canadian Glencairn mixer glasses? These unique stemless glasses are much larger and have a wider bowl than the normal ones, allowing the aroma to gather and the flavors be aerated as you gently swirl the glass. The mixer glass fits perfectly in the hand, and is even ideal for cognac or brandy due to the warmth from your palm gently heating the spirit inside. With this set of four mixer glasses and a decanter, you’ll be set when it comes to entertaining guests!
While similar in style to the above crystal Glencairn, this one is a little more simplified. It has a thin ring of criss-cross type detailing around the “hip” of the glass, accentuating the amber color of the whiskey. Your home bar will be a little classier with the addition of a couple of these gorgeous crystal Glencairn whiskey glasses.
Infuse Your Whiskey With a New Flavor
