For as long as whiskey has existed, distillers have been using different woods and casks to create unique flavors and profiles. In order for people to truly enjoy these whiskeys and their unique profiles, glassblowers have been creating different styles of drinking glasses designed to help people experience the flavors. The Glencairn glass is, of course, the most famous whiskey drinking cup, but there have been many varieties developed over the years, and there is an extensive history behind the glasses we use to this day.

This set of whiskey glasses were a special Christmas gift to me from a great friend up North. I love these glasses so much! Honestly, I love everything in this Waterford Lismore collection. This one is called "straight sided whiskey glasses". I absolutely love how they feel when I'm holding them and sipping whiskey. It seems like such a simple thing, but it really does make a difference. The weight of the glass, how light bounces off of them, how the whiskey looks in it. For me it makes the whole experience better.
Cheers to a wonderful evening!
