A Guide to Different Types of Whiskey Glasses

Waterford Short Stories is an exciting new barware and giftware range inspired by the Irish heritage of storytelling.

With all the craft and time that goes into making a good whiskey, it’s only fitting to drink it out of a glass that does it justice.

Not all whiskey glasses are the same. Different sizes and shapes are suited to different whiskeys, so it pays to know which is which.

This guide will take you through the main types of whiskey glasses and answer some common questions about serving and drinking - so you’ll be able to savor your next glass at its best.
