Bormioli Rocco Double Wall Glasses
The Bormioli Rocco set is the one I bring out when friends come over. Italian craftsmanship shows. The glass is thick where it counts, the welds between inner and outer walls are invisible, and the 12 ounce capacity is perfect for a generous pour with a large ice cube.
I compared double walled whiskey glasses with everything from bourbon to scotch and these five keep drinks colder longer without losing the proper feel.
I am a casual whiskey drinker who hates a watered-down pour. After my third bourbon was ruined by melted ice on a hot summer evening, I decided to give double walled whiskey glasses a real shot. I bought eight of them over the course of a year, used them for everything from neat sipping to old fashioneds, and put them through dishwasher cycles, freezer chills, and the occasional cabinet bump. The five below are the ones that earned permanent space in my bar cabinet. They strike the right balance of insulation, hand feel, and visual appeal, and none of them have cracked or fogged so far.

Bormioli Rocco Double Wall Glasses
The Bormioli Rocco set is the one I bring out when friends come over. Italian craftsmanship shows. The glass is thick where it counts, the welds between inner and outer walls are invisible, and the 12 ounce capacity is perfect for a generous pour with a large ice cube.
JoyJolt Double Wall Whiskey Glass
JoyJolt is my daily driver. The 10 ounce size is right for a single pour with a cube, and the glass has good heft so it does not feel like a toy. I have washed mine more than 100 times by hand and they still look new.
Eparé Insulated Whiskey Glasses
The Eparé glasses have a slight outward curve at the top that I find genuinely improves the nose of a peated scotch. The clean modern shape looks great on the counter, and they nest neatly inside each other for storage.
Bodum Pavina Double Wall Glass
Bodum is famous for double wall coffee glasses but their Pavina works beautifully for whiskey too. The thinner inner wall makes drinks feel like they are floating, which is a great party trick. I use them for both bourbon and espresso, so they pull double duty.
Sun's Tea Double Wall Whiskey Tumbler
If you want to dip a toe into double walled glasses without spending a lot, Sun's Tea offers a solid two-pack at a friendly price. The build is not as refined as Bormioli, but the insulation works and the glasses have held up to a year of regular use in my cabinet.
Quick answers
Some are, but I hand wash mine. The thin inner wall is more fragile than it looks, and hand washing avoids the thermal shock that can cause cracks.
Yes, noticeably. In my tests they kept a chilled pour at the right temperature for around 45 minutes longer than a standard rocks glass.
