Gentlemen's Hardware Rocking Whisky Glasses, Silver, Set of 2, GEN144

Product Information

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. Whisky glasses are shaped to enhance the experience of drinking and nosing whisky. The most popular glasses feature a bulbous body shape which allows aromas to collect and be directed through a narrow rim. Leveraging the thin lip often seen in Riedel’s wine glasses, this larger-sized glass has plenty of room to swirl your brown spirits. A crowd-favorite across the board is Riedel’s 7-ounce Vinum whiskey glass. "They’re great for nosing spirits,” says Marissa Mazzotta, bar manager at New York Distilling’s The Shanty. “It's a particularly ideal glass to use when we are tasting through barrel samples.” These 11-ounce glasses are made from lead-free crystalline with elegant detailing that will withstand the test of time. They're part of Waterford's Marquis line, which offers more affordable crystal pieces than the brand's other glasses.

I prefer a shot glass that holds at least 1.5 ounces, allowing 1 ounce to comfortably rest without spilling over the top," explains Goodfellow. “I’m also a fan of the short shot glasses that slightly fan out and have some weight to them, rather than the ones that just go straight up like a test tube." Dishwasher safe, these durable glasses are ready to survive jostles, slips and slam downs on the bar. The glass holds 4 ounces and is wider than the traditional tasting glass. This opening is designed to amplify the aromas and flavor characters of the spirit, like the delicate flavors of Japanese whisky, while avoiding the nose-numbing, overpowering ethanol scent. This design, a result of nine years of tastings and studies, also points out any potential flaws within the liquid. Each glass comes in an elegant burgundy and silver box, making it a go-to gift. If you’re looking to comparatively taste spirits, these glasses let flavors shine their brightest. Keep them on hand for documenting your notes on new bottles. Even if you own a venerable selection of snifters, there may be an occasion (or two) that calls for drinking whiskey in a more festive manner. These crystal shot glasses evoke the style of elegant barware, thanks to patterned designs and classic coloring (including pale blue, bright red, rose and grey), yet they boast the fun of a solid shot glass. Each glass also has a 2.5-ounce capacity.These glasses are incredibly durable, so try breaking these out with a rowdier crowd—the weight and cut suggests you’ve broken out your good glassware, but the durability will keep the glass intact until the last drop in the bottle. Whiskey stones are controversial. Purists roll their eyes at them, declaring a fine spirit doesn’t need chilling. But you should drink what you please, and if you’d like your whiskey below temperature, a whiskey stone chills down your drink without diluting the precious spirit. Simply store one in your freezer and break it out when you pour your dram. That said, it’s particular shape isn’t the most natural to sip from. For tasting, this glass is excellent but for sipping over a long period, opt for a more sessionable glass The founders used biomimicry and fluid dynamic modeling to produce the perfect whiskey glass, combining the easy-sipping nature of tumbler glasses with the technical qualities of nosing glasses. Plus, the 7-ounce glass’ double-walled design keeps hand heat away from liquid: The round curves of the outer wall nestle the glass comfortably in your hand while the tulip-shaped inner wall focuses and diffuses the aroma to reveal nuanced flavors. The ideal glass, so I've been told by many whisk(e)y distillers, for tasting is a stemmed glass that has a wider base than the nose, like ISO or Cordial glass,” explains Goodfellow. “You can see the spirits well—the glass tapers towards the top to concentrate the smell when you nose it, and the stem removes any unintentional heat to the spirit.”

I love unique glassware especially for my home bar,” describes Cristina Suarez, the beverage manager of KUSH Hospitality Group. “[These glasses] have an almost snifter-like shape on the top which enhances the whiskey flavor by trapping the aroma on top while the rounded bottom allows the glass to be fully cupped in your hand to warm it up. It would definitely make a great gift for the whiskey-loving golfer in your life.” 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.
