This set of two whisky glasses are part of the famous 'O' range from glass making powerhouse Riedel. They are perfect for those who enjoy their Whisky 'On the Rocks' as the 430ml capacity bowl allows plenty of room for both the Whisky and ice. Thanks to the size of the glass, you could also use this as a mixer for other spirits. This stylish glass is lightweight & easy to grip/hold; unlike your traditional whisky tumblers with a thick, heavy base, this glass has a more modern/sleek take. This glass is made entirely by machine; this glass is non-lead and dishwasher friendly, making them an excellent gift for a keen whisky drinker!

5 - Spirit and Whisky Decanters

Every keen whisky enthusiast should have a spirit/whisky decanter proudly sitting in the kitchen or dining room! These traditional decanters allow you to store your Whisky (or Cognac, Brandy, Port!) in style; the heavy thick bases make pouring a glass of Whisky more fun! All of our spirit decanters have large tops/stoppers which stops any unwanted air or particles mixing with the liquid; it also means you can keep your spirit in a decanter for an extended period. Whisky doesn't change or age when stored in a decanter, so it can't be harmed.
