Whisky glass types
The vessel is just as vital as the spirit itself. From the classic Glencairn used for technical nosing to the weighted crystal tumblers found in the world’s finest bars, choosing the right glassware is the first step in unlocking a whisky’s full aromatic potential.
In this session, we explore how geometry and glass quality influence your tasting experience. Drawing on years of service at 5-Diamond resorts, we break down which glass to choose for neat pours, highballs, and classic cocktails to ensure every dram is served to its highest standard.
