A good whiskey glass should feel right in your hand, look like real glass on the table, and survive the odd knock. This plastic whiskey glass does all three: a classic old-fashioned shape in shatter-resistant, BPA-free Tritan-style copolyester, sized for a proper pour of bourbon, scotch, cognac or whiskey.
\n\nReal glass looks great until it doesn't. One knock on a tile floor or one drop on the deck, and you're picking up shards instead of finishing your drink. A shatter-resistant plastic whiskey glass removes that risk without giving up the look and feel of real glassware.
\nClassic round styling and a smooth rim give it a comfortable grip and an easy sip, the shape you'd expect from a traditional old-fashioned glass. It's made from BPA-free, Tritan-style copolyester, chosen because it keeps the crystal-clear look of real glass instead of the cloudy or scratched finish you get from cheaper plastics.
\n\nA few things worth checking before you buy:
\nNot every plastic marketed as shatter-resistant behaves the same way. Three types of plastic genuinely hold up to drops and knocks, and a couple of others get called shatter-resistant without really earning it.
\n\nTritan-style copolyester is fast becoming the material of choice for shatter-resistant glassware that still looks like real glass. It was developed as a BPA-free alternative to polycarbonate, so you get the clarity without the BPA. If you want plastic drinkware that actually passes for glass, this is the material to look for.
\n\nPolycarbonate is another genuinely shatter-resistant, glass-like plastic, and it's dishwasher safe too. It's a well-proven material that holds up for years in both commercial and household use, and it's a common choice in busy restaurants, hotels, and outdoor or poolside service.
\n\nPolypropylene glasses are more casual than the glass-like finish of Tritan-style copolyester or polycarbonate. They're low-cost, come in a wide range of colours, solid or semi-opaque, and have a softer, slightly rubbery feel, closer to Tupperware or Rubbermaid storage containers than real glassware. They're a popular choice for kids' cups and casual outdoor events.
\n\nAcrylic and SAN (an acrylic blend) are durable, reasonably priced plastics, but they're not in the same league as Tritan-style copolyester, polycarbonate, or polypropylene when it comes to impact resistance. The key difference: acrylic and SAN glasses can crack if dropped on tile or another hard surface, while genuinely shatter-resistant plastics like Tritan-style copolyester and polycarbonate are built to survive that same drop.
\n\nThis glass is BPA-free and made from Tritan-style copolyester, built to resist shattering and cracking under normal use. It's commercial dishwasher-safe, so it goes straight in with the rest of your dishes. Avoid abrasive scourers or scouring powders, which can dull the clear finish over time.
\nUnless otherwise stated, this item comes with a standard consumer warranty.
