Glencairn Crystal Pipette

When it comes to experiencing the true essence of whisky, the choice of glassware is pivotal. This is where Glencairn Glasses shine. Designed with deep understanding and appreciation for the spirit, these glasses have become beloved companions for whisky enthusiasts worldwide. Crafted with a distinct tulip shape, the Glencairn Glass enhances the sensory experience of whisky tasting. Its wide bowl allows for the release and concentration of aromas, while the narrowing rim captures and directs those enticing scents towards the nose. This unique design ensures every nuance of the whisky's bouquet is savoured and enjoyed. Glencairn Glasses not only accentuate the aromas but also enhance the visual appeal of whisky. The wide crystal bowl allows for full appreciation of the rich colour and texture of the spirit, adding another layer of enjoyment to the whisky-drinking experience. Beyond their functionality, Glencairn Glasses are symbols of craftsmanship and quality. Meticulously crafted with precision and attention to detail, each glass reflects the passion and dedication of the artisans behind the brand.  The vision for the Glencairn glass dates back over 20 years when Raymond Davidson, founder of Glencairn Crystal in Scotland, aimed to create the perfect vessel for appreciating and enjoying whisky. Inspired by the traditional copita glass used for nosing sherry, Davidson's design became a reality after years of refinement and collaboration with master blenders from major whiskey distillers. Since its introduction in 2001, the Glencairn glass has earned widespread recognition and can be found at distilleries, whiskey festivals and in the hands of enthusiasts worldwide. 

Over the years customers who enjoy a drop of water with their whisky have often told the Glencairn Crystal team that they would relish a pipette to match their Glencairn Glass. It is for this demand that the Glencairn Pipette has been carefully crafted to complement the Glencairn Glass.

The handblown glass Glencairn Pipette is designed to be the ideal length for the Glencairn Glass and holds 1ml of water. Weighted at the top with a beautiful miniature Glencairn Glass, the pipette is fashioned to be comfortable in the hand, whilst allowing better regulation of the amount of water added, with its precisely engineered control-aperture set within a wide bulb at the upper end.

Whether one adds water to whisky or not is up to individual whisky drinkers’ tastes, however many whisky lovers believe that adding water can ‘open up’ the aromas and flavours, dramatically altering and enhancing the taste.
