Review on Trinkware Richmond 5-Piece Crystal Whiskey Drinkware Barware Set With Decanter And 4 Dof Double Old Fashioned Glasses by Nick Whitman

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Seller quotes the wrong size

So I ordered three of these to use as replacements in a tantalus. I relied on the picture by the merchant which shows the height of the bottle as being 9" tall. In actual fact with the stopper in place they are 10 inches tall, and without the stopper about 7". This also means they are wider then indicated in the 9" scale picture. This won't be an issue if you are not trying to fit a particular shelf size or matching other bottles that are 9", but annoying if you have specific need for the promised size. Aside from that it is a nice looking glass bottle. the stopper is above average in terms of its design, the detail on the bottle helps to break up the square shape, and they arrived intact.

Pros
  • Very nice bottle, heavy and good quality for your booze.
Cons
  • The decanter is not air-tight, allowing the whiskey to evaporate over time, compromising the flavor

I was looking for a nice cut glass decanter with a ground glass stopper. I wanted it for a nicer way to keep mouthwash on the bathroom counter. I should have been wary of the price because this is a molded glass piece (not cut glass) and the stopper is plain glass, not ground. But for what it is it’s ok. It’s affordable and looks better than the original bottle on my counter. Just definitely would not gift this as it doesn’t really feel expensive.
