TIMELESS WHISKY / ROCKS Glass [PASABAHCE] 345ml

The TIMELESS WHISKY / ROCKS Glass [PASABAHCE] 345ml is a low, wide tumbler from the TIMELESS collection, suitable for serving whisky, spirits over ice and short cocktails prepared or served in a rocks-style glass.

Model 52790 has a capacity of 345ml, a height of approximately 96mm and a top diameter of approximately 86mm. Its proportions make it suitable both for a straightforward whisky serve and for drinks with ice or cocktails that require a low glass with enough volume for the complete serve.

A defining visual feature of the TIMELESS collection is its geometric faceted design, inspired by the classic appearance of cut glass. The glass is made from clear glass and should not be confused with crystal glassware.

A Glass for Whisky, Bourbon and Scotch

The Whisky / Rocks format is suitable for serving whisky neat or over ice, as well as bourbon, Scotch and other spirits traditionally served in a low tumbler.

The 345ml capacity provides space for both the drink and ice without turning the glass into a tall tumbler. Its wide format also allows larger ice cubes to be used, depending on their dimensions.

When serving whisky over ice, a larger ice cube can be a practical choice when slower dilution is preferred compared with several smaller cubes.

Suitable for Old Fashioned and Negroni Cocktails

TIMELESS 52790 can also be used as a short cocktail glass, particularly for recipes traditionally served in a rocks glass or Old Fashioned glass.

Suitable uses include:

• Whisky, bourbon and Scotch – neat or over ice;
• Old Fashioned – prepared or served over ice;
• Negroni – including service over a large ice cube;
• Boulevardier – for a classic rocks-style serve;
• White Russian and similar cocktails;
• spirits served over ice;
• water or soft drinks when a low tumbler is preferred.

What Is a Rocks Glass?

The term Rocks Glass is commonly used in bars for a low tumbler designed primarily for spirits and cocktails served neat or “on the rocks”, meaning over ice.

This type of glass may also be referred to as an Old Fashioned Glass, whisky tumbler or low tumbler, depending on its shape, capacity and intended use.

PASABAHCE classifies the TIMELESS 52790 as a whisky glass, while its shape and 345ml capacity also make it suitable as a rocks glass for a variety of classic cocktails.

Why Does the Glass Have a 345ml Capacity?

The capacity of a whisky glass does not indicate how much whisky should be poured into it. The 345ml figure represents the total capacity of the glass and provides room for the drink, ice and, when preparing cocktails, the other ingredients in the recipe.

This is particularly useful for cocktails served over ice. A glass with insufficient capacity can become crowded once a large ice cube is added, while the 345ml format provides greater flexibility when building and presenting the drink.

TIMELESS Design: A Faceted Look Inspired by Cut Glass

The TIMELESS collection is distinguished by its decorative geometric pattern. The combination of facets and reflections creates the characteristic appearance of the collection and differentiates it from a completely smooth-sided tumbler.

It is important to distinguish between design and material: TIMELESS 52790 is made from clear glass, not crystal. Its faceted pattern creates an appearance inspired by traditional cut glass.

TIMELESS Rocks or a Highball Glass?

The right choice primarily depends on the drink being served.

TIMELESS Rocks 345ml is low and wide, making it suitable for whisky, spirits over ice and short cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or Negroni.

A Highball / Long Drink glass is taller and is generally better suited to drinks containing a larger volume of mixer, soda water, tonic water or other carbonated ingredients.

For an Old Fashioned or whisky over ice, the Rocks format is therefore the more specific choice. For a longer cocktail containing a substantial amount of mixer, a Highball or Long Drink glass is usually more appropriate.

For Bars, Restaurants and Home Bars

The 345ml format makes this model suitable for bars, restaurants, hotels and other HoReCa venues, as well as for a Home Bar.

For professional venues, its versatility is useful because the same glass can be used for several styles of whisky service and a range of short cocktails, helping to create a consistent presentation without requiring a separate glass model for every recipe.

For home use, TIMELESS Rocks is a practical option when one low tumbler is required for whisky, Negroni, Old Fashioned and other drinks served over ice.
