WHISKY GLASS, SET OF 12 IN TRADE CARTON

If you are a whisky drinker, these glasses are a must. The quality of these glasses is very good and affordable (since they don't have someone's logo on the outside). As with any glass, take care in handling as they do have a thin lip.

Great quality glasses. Would buy them again. They are very sleek and elegant

I bought these as a gift and the recipient was very pleased. These are the real deal, not a cheap copy. They are perfect for drinking whiskey.

I love single malt whisky & US bourbon. I was somewhat skeptical that this glass would greatly improve my enjoyment but I'm now a believer! The glass truly does allow you to pick out the subtle nuances more precisely. If you're spending $50 and more on single malt scotch, why would you want to miss out on the nuances of each? The design of this glass is based on the traditional "nosing" glass used by master whisky blenders. The pinched waist holds the aroma and the tapering neck directs the bouquet up to your nose. The smaller opening keeps the air in the room from confusing your senses so you get a more precise "nose". A traditional nosing glass has no cuts in the glass or other decoration because it would distort the color of the whisky. The Glencairn glass was originally designed for pub/bar use so it is a sturdy little glass. The bottom is heavy so it's not easily tipped over and is easily grasped. It feels good in the hand. The only glass that would provide a better hand feel (in my opinion) would be a small brandy snifter. A sherry copita would also be a good substitute glass. The size of the bowl was designed to hold the "proper" amount of scotch which is between 35 & 50 mL or approximately 1.5 fluid oz. in a US bar. You pour the scotch to the area on the glass where it just starts to taper up. The photo on the box shows a "proper" pour. The opening is a comfortable size for nosing and drinking. Glencairn also sells a crystal version of this glass but I prefer this lead free version because it is sturdy. The lead free version can go through the dishwasher if you choose but I always hand wash mine so that I don't get any soap or rinse agent residue in the glass. I find this glass to be the right combination of sturdy and elegance. And they make that lovely "ting" sound when bumped against another glass - "Slainte"! I also use this glass for drinking aged rum. It has the same effect on rum as whisky; makes it even more delicious. Some rum fans feel it concentrates the aromas too much because rum is not as subtle as whisky. For young rums, I agree but for older rums, I like using this glass for sipping/tasting. Glencairn does not manufacture these glasses in Scotland but has glass manufacturers in other countries manufacture them to their specifications. Glencairn designs, packages and distributes their glassware from East Kilbride, Scotland. There really is no glass blowing industry left in Scotland at this time. Each glass in this 4-pack, comes in its own box; perfect for gifting & also good for protecting the glass from shipping breakage.

3rd Purchase, Great Glass.

These glasses as the best for savoring the complex flavors of a good bourbon.

Really like these glasses. I like the way they look on the table, how they feel in your hand and the flared shape really does allow you to enjoy the aroma. They just seem a little overpriced.

Glen Cairn whiskey glass set has been a great purchase. Use them for my bourbon sipping and they really help to air out the liquor. Fits comfortably in your hand to allow a nice swirl before getting the full aroma. Well made and cleans up well in the dishwasher. No problem with any chipping or breakage. You will enjoy these for years.
