Gift sets with whisky glasses
A gift set with a whisky glass is a complete present built around the glass: with whisky stones and a coaster, with tasting caps and a pipette, or with tasting journals. In this collection you will find sets by Just Slate Company, Glencairn Crystal and 33 Books, all in gift packaging or a keepsake box. They are made for anyone who wants to give a whisky lover something to use straight away.

More about [title]
The Just Slate Company sets contain an engraved whisky glass, a slate coaster and whisky stones, with motifs such as the Highland cow, the red deer, the pheasant and the Texas Longhorn. Glencairn Crystal offers a tasting set with four glasses, tasting caps and a pipette, and a Christmas set with six coloured glasses for blind tastings. The 33 Books set pairs a Glencairn glass with three tasting journals. For sets with a decanter, tray or holder made from whisky casks, see our whisky glass gift sets.
What is in a Just Slate Company gift set?
Each set contains an engraved whisky glass, a 10 by 10 cm slate coaster, four engraved whisky stones, a pair of tongs and a luxury keepsake box. Glass, coaster and stones all carry the same motif: Highland cow, red deer, pheasant or Texas Longhorn. Put the stones in the freezer for a few hours before use; they chill your whisky without diluting it, although they hold the cold for less time than ice.
What are the tasting caps and pipette in the Glencairn tasting set for?
The caps cover the glass so the aromas stay inside while you taste another whisky. With the pipette you add water drop by drop; a little water can open up hidden aromas in a powerful whisky. Together with the four 200 ml Glencairn glasses you have everything for an evening with four whiskies side by side, for example one from each quadrant of the M4W Flavour Compass.
Who is the 33 Books whisky tasting gift set for?
For anyone who wants to keep track of what they taste. Besides a Glencairn glass in lead-free crystal, the set contains three tasting journals and a pen, with room for 99 whiskies in total. For each whisky you note the nose, palate and finish, so that over time you can see which style you like best. A practical gift for newcomers getting to know their own taste, and it comes ready to give.
Do the gift sets with whisky glass include whisky?
No, despite the name these sets do not include a bottle of whisky: they focus on the glass and everything around it, such as whisky stones, tasting caps or tasting journals. If you want to add a whisky, choose a bottle that suits the recipient's taste using the M4W Flavour Compass. A whisky from Smooth & Fruity is a safe choice for a beginner, one from Smoky & Powerful for lovers of peat.
Which gift set with whisky glass suits which recipient?
Choose according to how the recipient drinks whisky. Someone who enjoys a relaxed, chilled dram will love a Just Slate set: the Highland cow for any Scotland fan, the red deer or pheasant for those who love shooting and the countryside, the Texas Longhorn for a bourbon lover. Someone who wants to taste mindfully will get more from the Glencairn tasting set or the 33 Books set. For keen hosts of tastings, the Christmas set with coloured glasses is an original idea.
