Comparing Top Marquis by Waterford Whiskey Glass Products
With just two exceptional offerings, choosing is straightforward based on your needs.
The Markham Double Old Fashioned Set of 4 shines for everyday luxury and gatherings. At 11 oz each, these clear glasses feature a classic faceted pattern that catches the light dramatically. Their generous size accommodates ice cubes or mixers, making them versatile for parties or solo evenings. Ideal if you host frequently or want multiples for guests.
In contrast, the Personalized Brady Whiskey Decanter Set elevates gifting and display. This set includes a 32oz engraved crystal decanter paired with two double old-fashioned glasses. The customization—names, dates, or monograms—makes it a thoughtful present for weddings, retirements, or Father's Day. The decanter's broad base and stopper preserve whiskey's freshness, while the glasses match its heft and shine. Opt for this if personalization or a complete bar set appeals.
Both embody Marquis by Waterford's signature weight and balance, but the Markham set prioritizes quantity for sharing, while Brady focuses on bespoke presentation.
