Whisky glass Schott Zwiesel BAR SPECIAL 322 ml - lead-free crystal tumbler

Schott Zwiesel BAR SPECIAL whisky glass, 322 ml, is a lead-free crystal tumbler designed for serving whisky, bourbon and other spirits either neat or on the rocks. The glass combines clear optical quality with durable, chip-resistant material and a comfortable rim geometry that supports nosing and sipping. With a straight-sided profile and a stable base, the 322 ml capacity offers space for a standard measure plus ice or mixers while maintaining balance for hand-held use in home bars, restaurants and professional venues.

Advantages

The BAR SPECIAL whisky glass is made from lead-free crystal that improves clarity and resists chipping during regular use. Its 322 ml volume provides versatility for different serving styles, and the straight tumbler shape gives a stable center of gravity to reduce tipping. The rim is designed for comfortable contact with the lips, helping tasting and aroma delivery without unnecessary bulk. The glass is suitable for commercial washing and repeated handling, offering consistent appearance and function over time.

Suitable for

• Serving single malt or blended whisky neat
• Whisky or bourbon served with ice (on the rocks)
• Casual cocktails or spirit-forward mixed drinks
• Use in home bars, restaurant tables and hotel beverage services

When it may not be suitable

This tumbler may not be ideal when a highly specialized tasting glass is required, such as tulip-shaped nosing glasses used by professional tasters to concentrate aromas. It may also be less appropriate for presentations that demand a very narrow or long-stemmed glass aesthetic, for example in certain fine-dining settings.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 322 ml
• Material: lead-free crystal
• Shape: straight-sided tumbler with stable base
• Intended use: whisky, bourbon and spirits neat or with ice
• Finish: clear, chip-resistant glass

How to use

Pour the recommended serving of whisky or spirit into the glass, optionally add ice if serving on the rocks, and hold the tumbler by the body or base to avoid warming the liquid with your hand. For tasting, allow the glass to sit briefly so aromas develop, then bring the rim to the nose with gentle inhalations. After use, rinse or wash according to your kitchen or barware care routine; the glass is suitable for commercial dishwashing but follow specific dishwasher manufacturer's guidance to preserve clarity over time.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm 322 ml capacity fits your serving style (neat measures, on the rocks, or short cocktails)
• Ensure lead-free crystal matches your preferences for clarity and durability
• Consider space and storage for straight-sided tumblers in your glassware collection
• Check compatibility with available glass racks or dishwashers if used in a commercial setting

Usage recommendations

For everyday use, serve standard whisky measures or pours with a single large ice cube to limit dilution. For tastings, use the glass without ice and allow the spirit to open for a few minutes to assess aroma and flavour. Clean with warm water and mild detergent, avoid abrasive cleaners, and dry with a soft cloth to maintain the clear finish.
