Updated on 2021: There is nothing better at the end of a long day than settling down with a fine glass of single malt. However, you need to choose the right glassware to get the most out of your drink. A quality whiskey deserves a good set of Scotch glasses, and certainly something more upmarket than a standard glass that you would use for soda or milk. Whether you want to add a new Whiskey glass set to your collection or are thinking of buying your first set, in this article, we have gathered some of the best Whiskey glasses on the market.

15 Best Whiskey & Scotch Glasses for 2021

Glencairn Whiskey Glass

GlencairnMade by the Glencairn Crystal Ltd, the Glencairn Glass was inspired by the style of nosing glasses that are in use in whiskey laboratories. This distinct design has a small, tapered opening which concentrates the aromas arising from the Scotch and gives the drinker a better nosing experience. These are the ideal for anyone who likes to drink their Scotch either neat or with a small amount of water added to open up the flavors.

Drinking whisky on the rocks with this glass type is more difficult due to the small opening. This product is made from a beautiful and lustrous crystal, with a sturdy, wide and short base paired with a tulip-shaped body and narrow rim. The wide bowl enables a finer appreciation of the color of the whisky while the solid base is comfortable in hand. Having won the Queen’s Award for Innovation in 2006, this glassware has become the most popular choice for Scotch drinkers while remaining relatively inexpensive.

Reidel Vinum Single Malt Glasses

Riedel Vinum Single MaltThis stylish glass is part of the world-famous Riedel glassware line and is of the high quality that you would expect from this beautiful range. Designed to open at the lip instead of closing in, this item is made from lead-free crystal. It focuses on opening up and clarifying the spirit as it flows over the lips and tongue rather than channelling the aromas towards the nose.

Its thistle shaped body and short stem make it light and easy to handle, while the glass itself is thin and not too bulky. Reidel Vinum is ideal for anyone who prefers not to be overwhelmed by the nose of their Scotch, but it is best avoided if you like to add ice to your drink as it is rather delicate and lacks space, with a capacity of just 7 ounces.

The NEAT Whiskey Glass

The NEATNEAT is an acronym for Naturally Engineered Aroma Technology, and this uniquely shaped lead-free piece has only recently emerged into the arena of whiskey glasses. This product has been designed with science in mind, creating a large surface area of whiskey in order to maximize the amount of vapor evaporation to facilitate nosing.

Like many other whiskey glasses, the neck tapers inward to concentrate the aromas but then, more unusually, widens back out again to allow the diffusion of the harsh alcohol for a smoother drinking experience. This piece is pleasant to hold and can hold 2 ounces of your favorite Scotch. This is the official glass used for the prestigious San Francisco Spirits Competition, and so you can be sure that it is popular with connoisseurs. Although its appearance is a little strange, many people appreciate its unusual style.

Whiskey Tumbler

tumblerThe traditional whisky tumbler is perhaps the most iconic and recognizable of all whisky glasses, maybe because it is the type of glassware most commonly portrayed on TV and in movies. Although there are some benefits to choosing the classic whisky tumbler, it may not be the best choice when it comes to savoring all of the elements of your favorite Scotch.

While the standard tumbler is comfortable in hand and easy to sip from, its non-tapering shape means that the aromas are not concentrated towards the nose, leaving them to escape from the tumbler, limiting the drinker’s pleasure in nosing the amber nectar. On the other hand, a classic tumbler is perfect for enjoying all kinds of whiskeys and has plenty of room for adding ice or mixers to your drink. Both plain glass and cut crystal versions of the traditional whisky tumbler are available to suit your style preference.

The Shot

the shotWhile the shot glass may not be the ideal choice for anyone who wants to take their time over their Scotch and savor its unique aromas and flavors, it is perfect for those who want to enjoy a social event or bar experience over the oaky richness of their whisky. Designed to hold a small volume of liquid, these glasses have a thick base to withstand regular use and are perfect for slamming a bourbon straight, or any other quick pour type of alcohol.

Highball

HighballIf you like to drink whiskey in cocktails, the highball (or hi-ball) is perfect. With its simple style and thick base, it is ideal for mixing drinks with its tall profile that gives additional space for extra ingredients and ice. Although the highball may not be the choice of the average Scotch aficionado, it has a well-earned place among any Scotch glass collection.

On The Rocks With Ice Ball Maker

On The Rocks With Ice Ball MakerIf you like to drink your whiskey chilled, this will be an ideal choice. Every set comes with its own silicone mold which can be filled and frozen to form a single solid ball of ice that will outlast a standard ice cube. The shape of the glass has also been designed to accommodate the ice ball perfectly, enabling the drinker to swirl their Scotch without having to worry about spillages.
