Who, when and why

For anyone who wants to taste whisky properly: the stem stops your hand from warming the whisky, and the narrow mouth concentrates the aroma. That works well with delicate whiskies from Smooth & Fruity, but also with complex drams. Less suited to whisky with ice; for that, a tumbler is the better choice.

Good to know

Glencairn Crystal is a family firm from East Kilbride, Scotland. You can read exactly what nosing means in our M4W Whisky Glossary.

Why Edwin chose this

Whisky is a ritual for me, and the small things around it complete that ritual. I choose accessories that are beautiful to look at and pleasant to use.
