Whisky glasses are a type of glassware designed specifically for drinking whisky. They come in various shapes and sizes, but typically have a wide, thick base that tapers up to a narrower opening at the top.
There are several different types of whisky glasses, each with their own unique characteristics and intended use. Some of the most popular types include:
- Tumbler glass: Also known as a rocks glass or old-fashioned glass, this is a shorter, wider glass that is often used for whisky cocktails or for drinking whisky on the rocks.
- Copita glass: This is a small, tulip-shaped glass that is often used for tasting or sipping whisky. It is similar to a Glencairn glass, but with a longer stem.
- Snifter glass: This is a large, balloon-shaped glass that is often used for drinking brandy or cognac, but can also be used for drinking certain types of whisky.
