Maestro Whisky Glass for Controlled 302 ml Spirit Serves

If you run a bar, you need a rocks glass that supports a measured serve rather than forcing a tight fill. The Novatex Maestro Whisky Glass gives you 302 ml capacity in a Ø7.8 cm x 9 cm format, which suits short spirit serves where you need space for ice, dilution and aroma.

That matters in day-to-day service. You can build a whisky-based drink that looks complete without taking the liquid line too high. You also avoid a glass that feels under-scaled once ice is added.

Why the 302 ml Maestro suits short spirit serves

This glass is from Novatex and the model is the Maestro Whisky Glass. It is listed as ideal for whisky, bourbon, scotch, cocktails, and spirits, so it sits naturally on a bar serving neat pours and short mixed drinks.

The operational advantage is control. A 302 ml capacity gives you room to combine a measured spirit pour, a small amount of modifier and solid ice without pushing the serve close to the rim. That helps you keep the presentation consistent across shifts.

The description also notes a wide rim and solid base that provide a comfortable grip. In service, that supports hand feel for both staff and guests, especially on a back bar where these glasses move quickly between station, tray and table.

Dishwasher safe construction also fits routine bar clearing and reset.

Product specifications

A serve spec that fits this whisky glass

For a short stirred build, keep the liquid volume compact and let the glass carry the ice and headspace. This spec fits the 302 ml format without overfilling the bowl.

Whisky house serve

• 50 ml whisky
• 10 ml sweet vermouth
• 2 dashes bitters
• 1 large ice cube, or 2 standard ice cubes
• 1 strip orange peel

This gives you a short spirit-forward serve with enough space left in the glass for ice and natural dilution during the drinking window.

Tip: set a target fill line during staff training so every bartender leaves visible headspace after ice and garnish.

Build method and fill control in service

1. Add the whisky, sweet vermouth and bitters to a mixing glass with ice.
2. Stir until chilled and slightly diluted.
3. Place the ice cube, or 2 standard ice cubes, into the Novatex Maestro Whisky Glass.
4. Strain the drink over the ice.
5. Express the orange peel over the glass and place it in the drink.
6. Serve with clear space below the rim rather than topping up.

For service control, the point is not to fill the full 302 ml. The point is to use the available capacity so your short serve still has room to open up. That is useful when drinks are served on ice and consumed slowly.

If your bartenders build directly in the glass for some house recipes, keep the same principle. Use measured liquid volume and leave visible headspace. That makes the serve look intentional and reduces the risk of spill on pickup.

Where this glass works on your back bar

The Maestro fits bars that need one whisky glass to cover several spirit-led jobs. You can use it for whisky, bourbon, scotch and other spirits, but also for short cocktails that rely on a low-volume build.

Because it comes in a pack size of 48, it also suits venues that want a single service format across the bar, lounge or restaurant drinks list. If you are standardising glassware, that pack count is practical for rollout, par stock and replacement planning.

Its dimensions, Ø7.8 cm x 9 cm, also keep it in the familiar short-glass category for back-bar storage and table presentation.

Supporting glassware to complete the serve

If you want a tighter 260 ml presentation for neat pours or shorter builds, use the Novatex Olympus whisky glass as your smaller alternative.

For guest water service alongside the whisky serve, place the Novatex Conic drinking glass at the table or bar as the dedicated water glass.
