The Glencairn tasting glass in the thistle shape design is a quality-etched, 4-1/2" tall glass featuring the crest of Islay and Laphroaig. This glass showcases the eight working Islay distilleries, including the newest, Kilchoman (pronounced KIL'HOMAN), and the now-silent Port Ellen distillery. Each distillery is etched with its location on Islay, indicated by a pot still next to the distillery name. The Islay distilleries are known for producing globally recognizable single malt Scotch whiskies. This glass is a fun way to savor your dram or use as a discussion piece with friends.

The Glencairn blenders' malt glass, designed in the style of the thistle, has the qualities needed for capturing aromas. The design allows for more concentrated nosing, enhancing the whisky experience. The operating distilleries featured on the glass are Ardbeg, Bowmore, Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Caol Ila, Bruichladdich, Bunnahabhain, and the newest, Kilchoman.

The Glencairn glass is considered the definitive glass for whisky, ideal for both blenders and whisky lovers. It has a long and illustrious history, as the whisky world has never had a single definitive glass until the Glencairn Glass arrived, following the tradition of Scottish innovation.
