Since its creation by Glencairn Crystal Studio in 2000, The Glencairn Glass has become an iconic must-have for whisky lovers around the world. The glass was borne out of Raymond Davidson’s (Glencairn’s Founder) vision to create a glass that would encourage the user to fully appreciate the nose and palate of a whisky, whilst being an aesthetically pleasing object. The Glencairn Glass is now THE definitive whisky glass around the world today, with over 3 million being sold each year, across 140 different countries in every corner of the globe.

The Glencairn team is set to mark this momentous anniversary in 2020 with a number of milestone moments including:

• The new Glencairn PodGlass series: a first for the brand – a series of insightful and informative podcasts with Glencairn Crystal Founder, Raymond Davidson, and guest appearances by some of the whisky industry’s most renowned and respected names – some of whom were involved in the early development of The Glencairn Glass. The first PodGlass went live on 5 th May, visit www.whiskyglass.com/podglass/ for details.
• New versions of the Glencairn Glass that will be added to the existing range.
• A unique fundraising initiative with the proceeds going to the company’s chosen charity partners.
• The official opening of the new expanded Glencairn Crystal Studio site in East Kilbride: which incorporates a stunning refurbishment and a substantial new build on the original Glencairn site to cater for expanding demand – all built by local businesses.
• Social media: to keep whisky lovers going through the current challenging COVID-19 climate, @TheGlencairnGlass is inviting the online community to follow them and share their favourite stay at home Glencairn moments via a new platform: #beathomewithGlencairn.

Glencairn will be revealing more details on how followers and fans can become part of their 20th Anniversary tribute later in the year.
