# Fjord-Inspired Whisky Glasses The Fjord Whisky Glass Enhances the Spirit with Clever Design By Justin Lam | Published 2018-08-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fjord-whisky-glass References: [fjordwhisky](https://fjordwhisky.com/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fjordwhisky/the-fjord-whisky-glass) A good glass is key to enjoying any dram of whisky and the Fjord Whisky glass offers this in its masterful blend of design and science. Designed by The Gentlemen Company, this unique glass is the first to be designed and developed in Norway and is constructed fully from [lead-free crystal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sommelier-pro-collection). The whisky glass even comes packaged in an elegant [solid oak case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-oak) when six glasses are purchased. What sets the Fjord Whisky glass apart from the competition lies in its inspiration drawn from massive fjords. These gorgeous natural structures inspired the two small wave breakers featured in the glass, which improve the drinking experience by allowing the whisky to mix with air when the [glass is stirred](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisky-designs). This design feature also concentrates the whisky in the middle of the glass allowing for a stronger center scent and softer scent towards the edges. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fjord-inspired Glassware:** Incorporating elements of nature into glassware design provides a unique and enhanced experience for consumers. - **Lead-free Crystal:** The use of lead-free crystal in glassware ensures a safer and more environmentally friendly product. - **Packaging Design Innovation:** Creating elegant packaging solutions enhances the overall value and appeal of a product. ### Who This Affects Most - **Whisky:** The whisky industry can explore incorporating innovative design elements to enhance the drinking experience for consumers. - **Glassware:** Glassware manufacturers can adopt lead-free crystal production techniques to align with consumer demand for safer products. - **Luxury Packaging:** The luxury packaging industry can leverage creative packaging design to elevate the perceived value of products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whiskey-Inspired Cocktail Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awaz-glasses.md) - [Whisky-Themed Bespoke Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mortlach-by-design.md) - [Luxurious Whisky Home Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ashley-stark-home.md) - [Sculptural Whisky Decanters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistry-in-oak.md) - [Sculptural Whisky Pipettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deobrah-czeresko.md) - [Libation-Cooling Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diamas.md) - [Bold Whimsy Whisky Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glenmorangie.md) - [High-End Whiskey Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burns-crystal.md) - [Dedicated Craft Cocktail Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-cocktail-glass.md)
