Crystal Whiskey Glass, Set of 6, Clear, 6 Pack

This is a beautiful Glencairn Glass Whiskey glass set of 6. They arrived packaged in individual boxes (6 to a box) in a sealed box. The solved mystery? The outer box has a label on it that states Sold as a set ready to ship. So those folks who purchased 4 and not six and complained that two glasses were missing, were not missing two glasses. The company obviously opens the box meant for 6 and removes 2. The price difference is insignificant, so order the set of six! The Glencairn Glass is etched on the bottom. It is easy to see, but will be obscure under difficult lighting. Some reviewers state the the etching may be fake. It is not, etching on glass is not meant to be bold, but subtle. If you pour bourbon, single malt scotch or whatever your favorites are, pouring to fill the bulb on the bottom of the glass is exactly 2 ounces. This also happens to be the recommended pour. These glasses are not meant for ice or mixing, but for drinking Neat. There was a slight spec on the bottom of one glass, not observable from the side or top, that seemed to be a manufacturing defect. I only mention it casually as a comment. I certainly would not return the glasses because of it. I own two Riedel single malt scotch glasses that I love. They cost 3x what the Glencairn glasses do and the scotch does not taste any better. I hope this review allows someone thinking about purchasing these glasses easier to decide!

I am no master whisky taster, nor am I a snob. Im a firm believer in whisky as an everymans drink, but at the same time I appreciate it as a craft worthy of considerable study and capable of great nuance. How anyone chooses to enjoy it is up to the individual, and youll get no argument from me on what you like and how you want to drink it. Want to mix Scotch, red wine, and orange juice together in a Collins glass with ice and chug in down? Cheers! Now, that said, when it comes to my own enjoyment of beverages, Im very particular about glassware. I both love the material and appreciate what it can do for the senses. It all begins with the look, and the feel in the hand. Just as I like a delicate and tall fluted glass for a sparkling wine, I like a nice heavy glass when I drink spirits, just not something so overbuilt as to get in the way. For look a feel, I havent yet found glassware I like better than the Glencairn for whisky. The heavy base lets it feel sturdy in the hand, while staying low on the table and letting you pick it up to look through the liquid without your hand getting in the way. The glass itself is elegant without being pretentious and overly complicated. In due time, I believe it will become far more commonplace and universally understood to be the unique glassware for whisky as recognizable as wine glasses are today. Besides being very attractive and unmistakably a glass for complex spirits and not anything else, the tulip shape above the base allows for a nice quick swirl, and concentrates the aromas for when you want to stick your nose in the glass, a nostril at a time so you dont overwhelm your sense of smell. There is a way to do this without being totally awkward, although it might take a bit of practice. I also recommend relaxing your jaw and keeping your mouth open while you do this, just a little bit. Depending on your sense of smell, you may or may not smell things you never have before in your favorite whiskies, but it is undeniable that the aroma is stronger in a glass of this shape. As the sense of smell is so important to how things taste, I would say that Glencairns are worth it on that basis alone. Drinking out of a Glencairn is not particularly social. You will be hard pressed to maintain eye contact with somebody across a table while you take a sip, which is arguably the biggest downside to a glass like this. The upside is that by breaking your eye line you are forced to concentrate more on the drink itself. The shape of the glass again aids in the flavor of the drink by directing aromas towards your nose as you drink from it. I wont pretend to know how the shape of the glass affects the flow of the liquid itself, or what, if any, benefit that might make. There are other attempts at an official whisky glass out there. I will leave it up to you to decide if any of them are better at enhancing the whisky-drinking experience, but knowing a thing or two about glass and how its made, I expect the Glencairn to ultimately win more hearts and minds. For one, it is a very simple design, lending itself to easier manufacture and greater durability. Two, because of that simplicity, it is and will always be cheaper, thus will not be so easily painted as glassware for snobs, driving adoption by regular people. I fully expect that the Glaincairn will be widely imitated, with perhaps minor future variations improving it slightly. Clearly the Glencairn is a winner, and does exactly what it set out to do.

This is pretty much THE whiskey glass. Any whiskey enthusiast knows it by name. Shaped to ensure you get a good nose, easy to hold, reasonably durable, and decently priced. It’s not a large glass - really intended for a single or double pour, neat. I’ve given and received fancier whiskey glasses as gifts, such as the Norlan glass - they are excellent also, but often start at 3-4x the price, making the Glencairn glasses a staple of whiskey drinkers everywhere.

I have no complaints. I like this product for drinking whisky and it allows you to appreciate the aromas. I dont know if this makes a big difference when compared with a white wine glass or any other tulip shaped glass, but it is definitely better than a tumbler.

I gave whiskey glasses to a friend as a gift. These Glencairn Crystal Whiskey Glasses are equal quality of the more expensive glasses that I bought for my friend.

These are designed to help with the nose of the alcohol. They are tulip-shaped for this reason. These are the best whisky tasting glasses you can get - Glencairn are the only ones any serious whisky drinker should have. They are crystal glasses and work great. I dishwash them and have had no issues. 5 stars and make a great gift when ordered through Prime no issues.

Entregan lo que publican, se entregó antes de lo previsto y el empaque estuvo perfecto para evitar daños...

Well packaged and arrived undamaged.

This particular design of whiskey glass is used universally. The shape of these glasses direct aromas toward the rim, so one gets the aroma and the taste at the same moment.

This glass provides an amazing nose for all your favorite whiskeys. Try it and youll be amazed that you found many new and intense flavors that you never smelled before when nosing your whiskey in a rocks glass. This thing performs as advertised. The only glass that might beat this one for whiskey in my book is the Norlan glass, but you get 6 of these for less than the price of 1 Norlan glass, so as far as value is concerned, this one wins by a mile.
