Looking for some recommendations for a set of 4/6 crystal Whisky glasses & decanter.
I'm looking at Royal Doulton at the moment but would appreciate any other options that might be around.

Thanks in advance

Glencairn is the gold standard of whisky wear, inventing the famous glencairn whisky glass, they have a few decantor variaties, one even looks like a pot still. I have a basic decantor and several of their glasses.
 
If you do a google search im sure theres an australlian vendor.
 
While I don't really go for decanters any more, there are many decent ones out there. When it comes to glasses, I'm very biased towards the Glencairn whisky glass. It's a tulip shape, great for nosing and tasting malt whiskies. Available at Dan Murphy's for AUD$10.99:

For the life of me I can't find them WITH a lid. My search skills have failed me.
:O
The lids are terrific - they allow a concentration of aromas to build up in the glass - if you can resist for long enough.

I have a couple, they came seperate, great for letting a whisky sit after adding a few drops of water. Alberta premium darkhorse, i couldnt nose straight. Add a tsp of water, lid her 20-30 minutes itd settle down and i could nose for days. Same with colburn 25
 
I'm a fan of the Orrefors Street series. I have the double tumblers and the martini glasses. Their decanter is nice as well. Though for fine whisky, I do stick to my Glencairn glasses.
