Our first featured guest is Raymond Davidson, the founder of The Glencairn Glass. Join us for this two-part series as we explore the story and history behind Glencairn Crystal.
In this episode of the Glencairn Podglass, Raymond Davidson shares the story behind the creation of the iconic Glencairn Glass. As a lifelong whisky drinker, Raymond realised that the traditional glasses didn’t do justice to the whisky experience. Drawing inspiration from the sherry copita used by master blenders, he designed a glass with a wider bowl for swirling and a more robust base for practicality. The result? A glass that not only enhances the whisky’s aromas but also elevates the tasting experience, which has since become a favourite in the whisky industry.
