Rum glasses

How to choose rum glasses

Choosing the right rum glasses primarily depends on how the drink will be served: neat, over ice or in a cocktail. The shape, capacity and grip help match the glasses to the type of rum and the desired tasting experience.

For tasting rum neat, a glass with enough room allows drinkers to appreciate its colour and aromas. When serving rum over ice, a wider shape makes preparation easier and provides greater comfort. Depending on their capacity and design, some glasses may also be suitable for preparing rum-based cocktails.

Glasses for different styles of rum

White, golden, aged and infused rums can all be enjoyed in different ways. The glasses selected should therefore reflect serving habits as well as the positioning of the bottles being offered.

In a wine and spirits shop, distillery, bar or restaurant, a variety of shapes and sizes can cover different uses. Rum glasses can be used for tastings, discovery workshops, events or table service. They can also be sold individually, paired with a bottle or included in a gift set.
