European Glass — Smokey cocktail

The European Glass is a set of 6 oz vintage whiskey glasses. The brim has the perfect width to fit the nose and mouth comfortably while providing breathing space for drinking without being too broad. The glass has a thick base that gives it an elegant look and makes it heavy at the bottom, so it doesn’t tip over easily (even after drinking a few whiskeys!) The height-to-width ratio allows you to get a nice drink. Solid swirl while drinking straight walls prevent you from getting all that liquid gold out of your glass. These glasses have enough volume to drink a stirring cocktail like a Boulevardier, Old Fashioned, or even a whiskey-ginger. The glass’s 11-ounce capacity may seem too large for the average 2-ounce pour, but the whiskey’s colour shines through the smooth, firm base, giving your glass a substantial look. They are very well made, with no seams or air bubbles, and this exquisitely handcrafted set of six glasses is perfect for whiskey enjoyment or an intimate dinner party.

Bossa Nova Tumbler — Smokey cocktail

The Bossa Nova Tumbler double old Fashioned Glasses Set consists of four beautifully crafted 8-ounce stone glasses with a classic, old-fashioned design. A small inward cone at the bottom of the glass’s straight edges allows your swirl to reach the edges without tipping over. When drinking your whiskey with clarity, you want to ensure you’re activating all of your senses and that your wide mouth allows your nose to smell while tasting. The 8-ounce size is ideal for neat double or single pours and easily accommodates large and small ice cubes. This highball glass is versatile, from the traditional 2-ounce pour to various cocktails.

Sculpture Tumbler Glass — Smokey cocktail

The Sculpture Tumbler Glass is the gift set comes with two 6-ounce glasses, eight ice cubes, and an ice pack. While six ounces is a small glass, many whisked whiskey cocktails cost around 3 to 4 ounces, and this glass holds them pretty well. Unlike some whiskey glasses that are more oval, such as Glencairn glasses or tulip glasses, the cylindrical nature and straight sides of the sculpture tumbler glass allow you to fill up to the rim. The shape of the glass also encourages careful pouring to easily swirl the sides without spilling. While ice won’t keep your whiskey as solid as ice, they’re still quite cold and chill your drink slightly without diluting it. The wooden box is well-made and is a great way to store this set in a safe place. The glasses have a timeless aesthetic, making them an excellent gift for any whiskey lover.
