The Unique Shape of the Nosing Glass: Optimal for Aroma Development
The secret of the nosing glass lies in its distinctive, elegant tulip shape. Visually, they often resemble a traditional sherry tulip. This special shape is perfectly tailored to the needs of tasting:
- Bulbous shape: The lower, rounded part of the glass allows for maximum development of the spirit's delicate aromas.
- Tapered chimney: The narrowing shape towards the top directs the complex aromatic compounds straight and concentrated to the nose. The small opening at the top prevents too much alcohol vapour from escaping. This is essential for the so-called "nosing" (smelling) before moving on to the actual "tasting" (sampling).
- Visual clarity: The colourless, thin glass design allows for precise visual tasting, where the colour, viscosity and legs of the whisky or brandy can be assessed. The clear glass supports sensory analysis.
- Secure stand: A wide, solid base or an elegant stem ensures your whisky glass always has a secure stand.
Specialist Glasses for Whisky, Wine and More: From Scotch to Grappa
Our spirits glasses are the ideal choice for a professional whisky tasting. But as versatile tasting glasses, they're also valued in other areas. Use your new nosing glass for, among other things:
- Whisky: Single malt, bourbon, rye and blended Scotch – the whisky glass truly shines in concentrating complex aromas.
- Brandies: Fine distillates such as cognac, armagnac, calvados and brandy.
- Tequila and rum: Premium, aged spirits need the right spirits glass. A high-quality glass makes all the difference.
- Grappa: Many models are also excellent as an elegant grappa glass in its classic tulip shape.
Particularly with whisky glasses, the difference to a tumbler is significant. While a tumbler quickly warms the spirit and allows the aromas to dissipate, the stem of the nosing glass prevents warming from your hand.
Variety and Classics in Our Nosing Glass Range
In our shop, we offer you a wide range of nosing glasses for private use or professional use in the hospitality industry. They're handy, robust and durable. Every nosing glass in this category meets the highest standards.
A particular focus is placed on high-quality crystal glasses. These are often thicker-walled, feel better in the hand and provide stylish light refraction, making the whisky glass a real eye-catcher. A genuine nosing glass has to impress.
The undisputed classic among nosing glasses is the Glencairn glass. The Glencairn glass typically holds around 175 millilitres (although the recommended fill amount for whisky samples is approximately 35 millilitres). Its compact, bulbous shape without a stem and with a wide base makes it the preferred tasting glass of many distilleries.
Whether with a stem or a solid base – every sommelier glass in our range is light and handy, making swirling and visual inspection easier. We even offer larger, tulip-shaped glasses for special tastings of strong beers. The nosing glass is a true all-rounder.
