![]() I always like to try cheap blended whiskies with luxury glasses. Spiegelau says that this Copita whisky glass suits best for great single malts and bourbons, but surely you can try any kind of whiskies in it. Glencairn’s Copita glasses were not the best ones in my opinion Long height with an easy to grab neck, along with that nicely outturning lip of course, makes this glass quite enjoyable in my book. Which is the way I prefer my Copita glass to be. So the shape seems good, just like the long neck which makes it almost 20 cm (7,5 inches) tall. ![]() It has an outturned lip similar to Glencairn’s traditional nosing glass. I have no experience with Spiegelau’s Snifter glass, yet the shape of the glass looks nice to me. They have the Single Barrel Bourbon glass, which is kinda like Glencairn’s Canadian mixer – a tulip shaped tumbler. Then they also provide a good nosing Copita whisky glass called Whisky Snifter Premium. Spiegelau offers two differen types of whisky glasses. Spiegelau Snifter glass demonstrates Copita glass nicely But in my book, this Riedel qualifies as a Copita whisky glass. Check out their lowest prices from here: So like said before, Riedel nosing glass isn’t exactly like a Copita glass, with a long neck. As Riedel says, right there where the sweetness is perceiving, and serving “to emphasize the elegant creaminess of top quality single malt whisky”. It’s shape design has a small, slightly outturned lip directing liquid gold onto the tip of the taster’s tongue. “An elongated thistle shape on a truncated stem”Īs Riedel’s marketing texts state. This Riedel research launched a whisky glass design which resembles nosing Copita glass a bit. Georg Riedel had some further research made with the help of Scottish master distillers. The panel tested a range of 19 different shapes of glass. Riedel started designing their own whisky glasses in 1992, with a help of an Scotch whisky experts panel at Riedel’s Austria headquarters. Very stylish and unique onion shaped blender’s glass Riedel’s whisky glasses are almost like Copita glasses You can buy this glass from Produtti eCommerce. It can even feel too good if you’re unexperienced when it comes to nosing strong spirits. Needless to say, this qualifies as one of the best nosing glasses. First time I tried a cask strength whisky in it, it brought tears to my eyes. Because of its onion shape, it captures the aromas very intensively. There’s a new kid on the block when it comes to Copita styled nosing glasses – The 1920’s Professional Blender’s Glass. Below I’ve listed the most known whisky glass manufacturers, the ones that offer Copita glasses. Lid captures the strong aromas a bit longer.Īmazon offers nice Copita glasses from different brands. Especially smoky and strong peaty whiskies might lose their aromas, if left in the glass for a long time. A lid keeps the aromas well, if you want the dram to rest in the glass for a while. They also came with a lid, which is excellent for peated whiskies. That’s why my Ardbeg glasses are my favorite ones, giving away the aromas most profoundly while having the practical neck to hold on to. Those whisky glasses (featured in this article’s main photo) are shaped the same nice way as Glencairn’s original whisky glasses. Check the original shape from this article.įor example, I have two Ardbeg’s branded Copita glasses (don’t know the manufacturer). Many times I’ve wondered why Glencairn hasn’t used the same brilliant glass shape in their nosing Copita glass design. And it’s that similar shape of the traditional Glencairn whisky glass, that you have to be looking for when buying Copita whisky glass. For some reason, Glencairn has shaped its Copita in a different way than the original. We found out that Glencairn Copita glass does not give aromas as well as the original Glencairn does. I along with a buddy of mine tasted the same whisky from both Glencairn glasses. I compared Glencairn’s Copita nosing glass with their excellent original tasting glass in a whisky tasting held by our local whisky society. This is what a Copita glass for whisky looks like
