Product Information

An extra capacious glass from the Exmoor Suite range for your whisky on the rocks or whisky cocktail. Named after the natural beauty of Exmoor in Dartington's North Devon home, the classic Frank Thrower design was first produced in the late 1960s.  Each piece is created in Devon and has a mouth-blown bubble captured in the deep crystal base.

10.5cm tall, 30cl capacity. 24% lead crystal.

The Old Fashioned is named after the first mixed drink to be referred to as a 'cocktail'. The glass is distinguished from other tumblers by its straight sides and is also known as a Rocks Glass because it has room for ice.

If you'd like to make an Old Fashioned, start with a sugar cube and two dashes of orange bitters (alternatives are one dash of orange bitters and one dash of Angostura Bitters or Curacao) and a small amount of soda water (or just plain water), just enough to dissolve the sugar. Some people use sugar syrup instead of solid sugar.

Muddle (i.e. squash) this together with a spoon or, if you have one, a muddler (a barperson's pestle). 

Fill the glass with ice and then comes the whisky. The preferred spirit is bourbon but a blend works just fine. How much you pour depends on your taste- 2 to 3 fl oz (60 -90ml). The Double Old Fashioned tumbler is ideal if you prefer your whisky diluted because there's plenty of room to top up with soda water.

Finally add orange zest then garnish with an orange slice and, if you like a bit of show business, a cherry.
