How does the glass work?

Traditionally the tumbler has been seen as the vessel of choice for the majority of whisky drinkers and the ‘Whisky Snifter’ relegated to the small group of true whisky tasters. D&L have now combined these worlds. 

The hand-blown shape of the D&L Whisky Glass combines the benefits of taste and smell associated with a traditional whisky snifter with the versatility and style of a classic tumbler. 

The wide base maximises the surface area of a standard measure, funnelling the aromas through the tapered body to the optimally sized opening. This reveals the whisky’s full character. 

Design of the glass.

The carefully considered shape funnels and concentrates aromas to its opening, therefore enhancing the taste of the drink. The glass is optimised for all your favourite cocktails such as G&T's, Martinis, and Negronis, as well as beautiful sipping gins with a block of ice. The glass will take you on a delectable journey for the length of your cocktail or sipping gin. Each glass is hand blown in order to get to the specific dimensions required; this results in a level of quality unmatched by machine.
