FAQ – Whisky Glasses

What whisky glasses do you stock?

We stock 156 lines covering whisky tumblers (single and double old-fashioned formats), cut-glass styles, crystal options, and whisky tasting glasses. Brands include Libbey, Luigi Bormioli, and Utopia. Capacities range from compact tasting pours up to generous double old-fashioned formats.

What is the difference between a whisky tumbler and a cut glass whisky glass?

A tumbler is a plain, heavy-based glass – practical, durable, and suited to any serve from neat to on-the-rocks. A cut glass whisky glass carries the same functional shape but with decorative geometric or diamond-cut patterns that add visual weight and a premium feel. The functional difference is minimal; the presentation difference is significant.

Are whisky glasses suitable for commercial glasswashers?

Most lines in this range are rated for commercial glasswasher use. The Libbey Embassy range in particular is built for high-turnover service. Crystal options should be checked against individual product specifications – some perform best on a gentler cycle. Check the product page for each SKU or contact us before ordering if you need clarification.

Can I buy whisky glasses in bulk?

Yes. All products are sold in trade case quantities – typically 12 or 36 per case depending on the line. There is no upper limit on how many cases you can order. If you need to buy bulk whisky glasses across multiple styles for an opening or event, we can accommodate mixed orders.

Do you stock crystal whisky glasses?

Yes. We carry crystal whisky glasses from Luigi Bormioli, with lead-free crystal construction and dishwasher ratings suitable for professional use. These are the right choice for premium spirits menus and venues where presentation is part of the offer.

What size are whisky glasses?

Sizes vary by style. Single old-fashioned tumblers typically run around 180–200 ml; double old-fashioned formats are usually 280–350 ml. Tasting glasses tend to be smaller – often 150–200 ml – to focus the pour. Check individual product pages for exact capacities.

Do you stock Glencairn glasses?

We don’t currently stock the Glencairn branded glass specifically, but we do carry tulip-shaped and narrowed-bowl tasting glasses that serve the same functional purpose – concentrating aroma for nosing and evaluation. These are well suited to distillery and tasting event use.

Can whisky glasses be used for other spirits?

Absolutely. Tumblers work across bourbon, rum, tequila, and brandy service. Tasting glasses suit any spirit you’re serving neat for evaluation. Many spirits bars use a single tumbler style across their entire back bar – it simplifies stock and keeps service consistent.

What is the minimum order?

There is no site-wide minimum order value. Products are sold by the case, so the minimum per line is one case. Case sizes vary by product – typically 12 to 36 units for most whisky glass lines.

Can I open a trade account?

Yes. Trade accounts are available for qualifying hospitality businesses. Contact us with your business details and we’ll get you set up. Account holders access trade pricing across the full range.
