Description

The Norlan Whisky Glass is meticulously crafted to enhance the experience of your favorite whisky—or whiskey—be it Scotch, Bourbon, Rye, Canadian, or Japanese. This innovative double-walled glass was designed to amplify whisky's complex flavors and rich aromatics, delivering an unparalleled tasting experience.

Originally designed in 2015 by co-founder Sruli Recht, the glass was perfected with input from legendary master distiller Jim McEwan on the famed Isle of Islay in Scotland. Since its debut, it has become a global favorite, with nearly half a million sold and consistently ranking as one of the best whisky glasses in online reviews and customer surveys.

Handcrafted from lightweight borosilicate glass, the Norlan Whisky Glass combines a scientifically engineered interior with an elegant, aesthetically pleasing exterior. The result is a superior nosing glass that not only elevates your whisky tasting but also serves as the ideal gift for whisky lovers and those just starting on their whisky journey.

Reviews

Great bourbon glasses.

I love the “glass within a glass” style. Your hand won’t warm the bourbon up because of this feature. The inside vessel is similar to glencairn glass. I genuinely believe this glass made for a better bourbon drinking experience.

Looks amazing!

This was a great Christmas present to accompany a well deserved Whiskey. Well presented and came with a polishing cloth - went down a treat!

Nice

Very nice but bit pricey glasses. Anyway recommended.

A WHISKY GLASS THAT DELIVERS

ETHANOL

AROMATICS

WHISKY AERATION

Special protrusion forms inside our tasting glass create wave-like movements in the liquid when it is swirled within the bowl. This helps to release the ethanol within the spirit, allowing the scents to become more present when nosing, which in turn improves the flavor when drinking.

COPITAS

Nosing glasses often concentrate the shape of the vapor in such a way that they tightly focus it, causing the ethanol to punch into the eyes and nose, and concealing the aromatics.

TUMBLERS

A cool social glass, the wide opening of a tumbler diffuses the aromatics of the spirit too widely, fading and flattening them out. This results in a diminished nosing and tasting experience.

HOW TO USE OUR WHISKY GLASS

Think of the Norlan Whisky Glass as a finely calibrated tool, designed to get the most out of your whisky and give you an unrivaled drinking experience. While there’s no one way to enjoy whisky, this vessel was developed as a neat glass, meaning the spirit should be tasted without the addition of ice cubes. The primary reason for this is that ice will cool the fluid and diminish the presence of aromas. (For whisky on the rocks, we've got the perfect tumbler.)

This is a compact scotch glass, but by no means diminutive. Its size is based on providing the optimal space for a traditional pour to be swirled within the inner volume. This is anywhere from 0.7 to 1.4 ounces of spirit. Pour no higher than the top of the inner protrusions and you’ll get the most out of your dram.

After pouring the real fun begins. To get those myriad aroma molecules unlocked, you'll want to give your glass a good swirl to get the whisky moving inside. From there, you can smell and taste your pour as you see fit. We won't drill down into the details of "proper" nosing and tasting here, but chiefly, we recommend you take your time and savor every sip of that liquid gold.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

USE, CARE & MORE

Can I use ice or whisky stones?

The Norlan Whisky Glass was designed to improve the aroma and taste of whisky enjoyed neat. We do not recommend using ice or whisky stones in the glass and caution that they can cause harm to the glass.

Can the glass be stored in the freezer?

We do not recommend storing the glass in the freezer because of the risk of thermal shock.

Please also note that the glass should not be placed in a microwave or oven.

Is the glass dishwasher safe?

We recommend you always hand wash and dry your glasses with a non-abrasive cloth to ensure their longevity.

Can the glass be engraved?

While we do not offer engraving services, any engraving specialist should be more than happy to work on these glasses.

Note: The black edition of the Norlan Whisky Glass is coated in a matte black lacquer. Engraving the exterior will remove this finish.

Does the glass have a gold rim?

No. That color you see on the rim is the brilliant whisky contained within. It's a great effect.

Can the glass be used for other spirits?

While the Norlan Whisky Glass was developed for the appreciation of whisky, we’ve found our Scotch glasses perform equally well for any spirits containing a high ABV where nosing is an important aspect of the drinking experience.

How is the glass packaged?

The Norlan Whisky Glass is sold individually and comes packed in a luxurious black cardboard box with printed sleeve. A microfiber polishing cloth is also included.

Is the new black edition identical to the original?

The new black edition of the Norlan Whisky Glass has a slightly difference surface than the original. If you are ordering to match your original set of glasses, kindly note that there will be a very minor difference in tone and feel.

Why does Norlan write whisky and not whiskey with an "e"?

Good question. Many people are unaware that whisky (or whiskey) actually has two spellings. The reason for this stems from the translations of Scottish and Irish Gaelic forms of the Gaelic termusquebaugh, or 'water of life.' It is believed that the Irish adopted the whiskey spelling as a means of differentiating their spirit from the Scottish form of whisky (which in the late 1800s was considered of lesser quality). Irish immigrants brought their spelling of whiskey to the United States and this is why we see whiskey being used in the United States and Ireland and whisky being used in Scotland, Canada, and most other regions to this day.

Since Norlan is a brand inspired by a love of Scotch whisky and the Scottish landscape, we use the spelling whisky in our communication. But you can feel free to use the spellings somewhat interchangeably. Whether you're looking for scotch whisky glasses or whiskey glasses, we've got you covered.
