Whiskey & Old Fashioned Glasses

A well-designed whiskey glass is much more than just a vessel in your drinks cabinet; it plays a vital role in enhancing the drinking experience, especially in the hospitality industry. When serving whiskey to discerning guests, choosing the right glass can elevate their experience, helping them appreciate the subtle nuances of flavour and aroma. The shape, size, and material of the glass are all essential factors in how the whiskey interacts with the senses, from the way it concentrates the aromas to how it feels in the hand. The right glassware not only enhances the whiskey’s taste but also adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to any occasion, creating a memorable experience for your guests.

When it comes to Scotch whisky or whiskies from countries like Canada and Japan, the spelling “whisky” is typically used. However, Irish and American versions tend to use the spelling “whiskey.” Despite these regional differences, whiskey/whisky glasses are universally suitable for all types of whisky, so there’s no need to worry about the spelling when selecting your glassware. The glass will do its job in enhancing the experience, regardless of the whisky’s origin.
