Who, when and why

For anyone who enjoys tasting with friends: six glasses side by side make it easy to compare different whiskies, from Smooth & Fruity to Smoky & Powerful on the M4W Flavour Compass. The Glencairn shape concentrates the aromas in the narrow mouth, so the glass works for every style. As a gift it is a personal choice, because the wood itself has a history as a whisky cask.

Good to know

This holder is also available with a different number of glasses and with the smooth, standard Glencairn glasses in lead-free crystal. Choose the Cut version if you prefer a heavier glass with cut facets.

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.
