French Whiskey Glasses, Whisky Tumblers & Gift Sets
Make every pour feel a little more considered with Malmaison’s curated collection of whiskey glasses and whisky tumblers. Made in France by La Rochère, these substantial glass sets combine authentic French craftsmanship with distinctive design for whisky, bourbon, Scotch, spirits and classic cocktails.
The collection brings together two very different expressions of La Rochère glassware. Dandy has a bold, contemporary silhouette with softly rounded corners and symbolic patterns inspired by whisky-making traditions around the world. Bee offers a more historic French character, featuring La Rochère’s iconic Napoleonic bee motif in a beautifully weighted tumbler.
Designed to feel comfortable and substantial in the hand, these French whiskey glasses are equally at home with a favourite spirit served neat, poured over ice or used for a classic cocktail. Their pressed-glass detailing catches the light beautifully while remaining practical enough to become part of the everyday home bar.
Selected designs are also presented in signature La Rochère gift boxes, making them a distinctive choice for birthdays, Father’s Day, housewarmings, anniversaries and anyone who appreciates beautifully made French glassware.
Complete your home bar with La Rochère Glassware, Tumblers and Tall Glasses, or explore Wine Glasses, Jugs & Carafes and the wider Glassware Collection for relaxed entertaining.

La Rochère Dandy Whiskey Glasses
Bold, architectural and unmistakably contemporary, Dandy brings a different character to traditional French pressed glass. Its square form is softened by gently rounded corners, while a substantial base gives each glass a satisfying presence in the hand.
The Dandy collection features symbolic patterns inspired by celebrated whisky-making regions around the world. These patterns play with light across the surface of the glass, bringing additional visual interest to the amber and golden tones of whisky, bourbon and other spirits.
Choose the assorted Dandy gift-boxed set for a mix of individual patterns, or explore selected designs such as Glen and John for a more coordinated collection.
La Rochère Bee Whiskey Glasses
The Bee Whiskey Glass brings one of La Rochère’s most recognisable French motifs to the home bar. Each glass features the iconic Napoleonic bee, a symbol closely associated with Napoleon and the Château de Malmaison.
Made in France and generously proportioned, the Bee design balances heritage with everyday versatility. Its shape is equally suited to whisky, bourbon, spirits over ice and short cocktails, while the historic motif gives the glass a distinctly French character.
Presented as a gift-boxed set, Bee Whiskey Glasses are particularly well suited to gifting or to customers already building a coordinating La Rochère Bee collection.
French Glassware for the Home Bar
A well-chosen whiskey glass is about more than the drink itself. Weight, texture and the way a glass feels in the hand all contribute to the ritual of pouring and enjoying a favourite spirit.
La Rochère whiskey glasses bring that sense of occasion without becoming overly formal. Their substantial pressed-glass construction feels reassuring in the hand, while decorative patterns give each design its own personality.
Serve whisky or bourbon neat for a simple evening pour, add a generous cube of ice for a slower drink, or use the same glass for a classic Old Fashioned or another short cocktail. The versatility of this tumbler-style shape makes it a useful addition to both a dedicated home bar and an everyday glassware collection.
For entertaining, arrange the glasses alongside a favourite bottle, ice bucket and simple serving pieces. Add linen cocktail napkins or a small tray and allow the texture of the French glass to provide the decoration.
As with the wider Malmaison approach to entertaining, the result should feel considered without becoming overly styled - beautiful pieces, good company and objects designed to be used.
Dandy - A Contemporary Expression of French Glass
Dandy is one of La Rochère’s more contemporary collections. Its strong geometric profile and softly rounded corners create a glass that feels modern while retaining the substance and character associated with traditional French pressed glass.
The decorative patterns draw inspiration from international whisky traditions, giving the collection an appropriately cosmopolitan character. The assorted set is particularly distinctive because each glass brings its own pattern to the group while retaining the same overall silhouette.
For customers who prefer a coordinated look, individual Dandy designs such as Glen and John allow the same motif to be repeated across the setting.
The result is French glassware that feels at home in both traditional and contemporary interiors - a considered alternative to conventional plain whiskey tumblers.
Bee - French Heritage in Every Pour
La Rochère’s Bee collection is one of the glassmaker’s most recognisable designs. The Napoleonic bee motif gives each piece an immediate connection to French history while remaining charming and easy to use in a contemporary home.
The motif has particular resonance for Malmaison because of its association with Napoleon and the Château de Malmaison. On the whiskey glass, the bee becomes a subtle decorative feature that catches the light without overwhelming the clean tumbler shape.
Pair Bee Whiskey Glasses with other La Rochère Bee pieces for a coordinated collection, or mix them with simpler French glassware for a more relaxed and collected home bar.
Authentic French Glass by La Rochère
Founded in 1475, La Rochère is a historic French glassmaker whose distinctive pressed-glass collections continue to be made in France.
Its approach combines centuries of glassmaking heritage with practical glassware designed for contemporary living. The Dandy and Bee whiskey collections demonstrate two very different sides of that tradition - one contemporary and graphic, the other steeped in historic French symbolism.
Malmaison has stocked La Rochère since 2003, and the brand has remained central to our French glassware collection for more than two decades.
The current Malmaison Whiskey Glasses collection is exclusively La Rochère and made in France, giving customers the opportunity to choose genuine French barware rather than simply French-inspired styling.
Authentic French Glassware for Gifting & Everyday Enjoyment
A beautifully made whiskey glass is both practical and personal. La Rochère’s Dandy and Bee collections combine authentic French craftsmanship with distinctive design, creating glassware that feels special enough to give yet practical enough to become part of everyday rituals.
Whether used for whisky, bourbon, spirits over ice or a favourite short cocktail, these substantial French-made tumblers bring character and a sense of occasion to the home bar.
Selected Dandy and Bee sets are presented in signature La Rochère gift boxes, making them thoughtful choices for Father’s Day, birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, housewarmings, corporate gifting and hosts.
Dandy is particularly well suited to someone who appreciates contemporary design and graphic detail, while Bee offers a stronger French heritage story and coordinates beautifully with La Rochère’s wider Bee collection.
The lasting appeal is in the combination of craftsmanship, usefulness and provenance - glassware designed to be enjoyed long after the occasion it was given for.
Why Choose Malmaison Whiskey Glasses?
Malmaison has been curating authentic French and French-inspired homewares since 2003, with a longstanding relationship with La Rochère.
Our Whiskey Glasses collection is deliberately focused. Rather than offering a large assortment of generic barware, we have selected genuine French-made designs that combine craftsmanship, character and practical everyday use.
Dandy provides a contemporary interpretation of the whiskey tumbler, while Bee offers a more traditional French heritage story. Both collections are made in France, dishwasher safe and designed to coordinate naturally with the wider Malmaison glassware range.
Whether you are choosing glasses for your own home bar, adding to an existing La Rochère collection or searching for a beautifully presented gift, these are pieces selected to be used, enjoyed and shared.
