Whiskey Glass
You know the one. Short, squat, heavy in the hand, makes a dram look serious before you've even taken a sip. This is the rocks tumbler, and it's the glass you reach for when you want a whisky to feel like an occasion and not a chore. Pour a finger of bourbon neat, drop in a fat cube of ice, or build a proper Old Fashioned right in the glass. Late night, nyama choma cooling down, mates over and nobody wants to fuss. This is the move.
The details

A little backstory
The rocks glass goes by a few names. Lowball. Old Fashioned glass. Tumbler. The Old Fashioned tag is a straight nod to the cocktail, since bartenders found this short, sturdy shape was perfect for muddling sugar and bitters then building the drink right inside it. No stem, no fragility, just a glass that survives real life and looks the part doing it. Ours is the unbranded house version. No logo, no markup for a name, just the classic shape done right. A solid home-bar staple and an easy gift for the whisky lover who has the bottle but not the glass.
Good to know
- What is the price of Whiskey Glass?
Whiskey Glass is KSh 200 at Oaks & Corks. Order online for delivery in 30 minutes for most areas in Nairobi, or next day countrywide.
- What is the Whiskey Glass (Rocks Tumbler)?
It's a short, heavy-based tumbler made for spirits. Also called a rocks glass, lowball or Old Fashioned glass. The classic shape for whisky neat, on the rocks, or stirred into a cocktail.
- What is it for?
Whisky, bourbon, scotch, brandy and rum, served neat or over ice. It's also the go-to glass for spirit-forward cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Negroni, since you can muddle and build right inside it.
- Does it have an ABV?
No. This is glassware, not a drink, so there's no alcohol content. You bring the bottle, the glass does the rest.
- Why does it have such a heavy base?
The thick bottom keeps the glass stable so it's hard to knock over, gives it a satisfying weight in the hand, and the thicker walls help hold the cold of your ice a bit longer.
- Is it good for tasting fine whisky?
For everyday drinking and cocktails, absolutely. For serious nosing of a special single malt, the wide rim lets aromas escape faster, so a narrow nosing glass has the edge there. For most pours, this is all you need.
- How do I care for it?
Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry it to keep it clear. Check the maker's guidance before putting it in the dishwasher, and avoid sudden temperature shocks so it doesn't crack.
