Common Questions About Whiskey Glasses
What is the proper way to wash and maintain whiskey glasses?
When viewing the product description of your desired product, be sure to check if the glass you are viewing is dishwasher safe. While many of the glasses listed can be washed in a dishmachine, a glass washer is an option for those that are not. Keep in mind that when washing glasses, the washer may not remove all residue – including lipstick and other hard-to-remove substances – from the glasses if the water temperature is not high enough. Because of this, you may wish to wash barware with a high-temperature model. High-temperature washers reach a minimum of 180 degrees Fahrenheit and will be able to more effectively remove substances like lipstick from glasses.
If you choose to handwash your whiskey glasses, they should typically be air dried to prevent towels from leaving any lint residue behind, as this could negatively impact the appearance of the glasses the next time they are used as well as the taste of the liquor served inside.
What is the purpose of the cap line on a whiskey shot glass?
Some shot glasses come with the addition of a cap line that goes around the glass, which is included as a measuring tool. When mixing drinks, this line will help bartenders ensure they are pouring the correct amounts into customers' drinks. When reading the description of the product you are buying, remember to check the value of the cap line, as KaTom carries glasses with different cap line capacities.
What is the size of a whiskey glass?
Whiskey glasses, or Old Fashioned glasses as they are sometimes called, are available with capacities ranging from 9.5 to 11.75 ounces. These glasses are designed for liquor drinks served neat or on the rocks. Whiskey shot glasses may come in 0.75- to 2-ounce capacities. When determining which size glass to purchase, keep in mind that the actual capacities of glasses are less than their brimful capacities, which is the standard volume measurement used. That means a 9.5-ounce whiskey glass should be filled with less than 9.5 ounces of liquid to prevent spillage.
What do the Sure-Guard and Safedge Rim guarantees mean?
Some glasses come with a Sure-Guard or Safedge Rim guarantee, which are warranties offered by certain manufacturers that guarantee their glasses will not chip or crack under normal commercial use. If glasses with these guarantees do chip or crack, operators can contact the manufacturer and work with a manufacturer representative to determine if the glasses are eligible for replacement.
