> 3 dayI have a serious whisk(e)y collection. The only way to sip them is in a glencarrin or tulip glass. I was using tulip glasses but these days most reviews use glencarrin glasses. These are a great buy for the money. They are individually boxed like shown in the picture. 5 star highly recommended!

Greater than one weekI own some of these glasses and I purchased as a gift. These glasses because of the shape are great for tasting whiskey. I highly recommend these if you want to get into tasting whiskey.

> 3 dayI saw these at my son’s and liked them so much, I bought a set. He had his from the Wood Hat Distillery, with their logo. Mine are the same glass, without the logo. Love them. Beautiful to look at and hold. Came very quickly and well-packaged

> 3 dayIndeed, the lower bowl gives a clear display of the color of the whisky and the nose is nicely funneled through the narrower neck. The glass was a little smaller than I expected but I am very happy with it. Could be difficult if you drink with lots of ice but since I use a “splash” it is no problem.

> 3 dayI just got into whiskey and all the reddit pics in /r/whiskey showed these neat glasses. Well I ordered a set and can say they make sense. First, I it makes it real easy to get the pour I want. Second, a specialized whiskey glass makes it look like I know what I am doing. Third, it concentrates the dram’s aromas so you get a good sense of the nose...... All the pretention aside these are great whiskey glasses.

Greater than one weekWonderful glasses. They arrived in great condition. I’m able to appreciate the aroma and flavor profile of the bourbons better with this type of glass.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 day...I bought a set of these. Every single bar I visited (cant remember the exact number -- but it was close to a dozen) in Scotland served whisky in these glasses. Its been a year of using these several times a week and they are perfect for scotch. Add a few drops of water and there is no more perfect way to enjoy a perfect drink!

> 3 dayFor the price you should really try these. It opens up your scotch very well.

> 3 dayExactly as described. Individually boxed and shipped with lightning speed. Have used only once, but found tasting single barrel bourbon to be a new and more satisfying experience!
