This is the best Scotch whiskey glass on the market today

This is the finest Scotch whiskey glass on the market today. I've switched from the significantly more expensive Ridel VINUM glass, which is intended for single malt whiskeys (and other whiskeys), but the Glencairn glass beats it simply because of its shape - it optimally concentrates the flavors and is half the pleasure of drinking. nice tape in the nose. The glass is shaped so you don't have to touch the part of the glass that contains the spirit when you drink it, and you don't heat up your…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Infinitely Sluggish

Great experience on all levels

I first found these glasses after searching the internet for whiskey glasses on my own. I later heard about them from Whisk(e)y Vault and decided they were the goggles for me. The packaging was fine. Others might have had a sloppy packer, but my glasses installed nicely, with paper around them and lots of bubble wrap between their own cardboard and shipping container. What is it like to use these glasses? Extraordinary. I have tried both Woodford Reserve and Monkey Shoulder on the rocks…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Minor issues

Truly a fantastic glass

I always thought the Glencairn glass was hype, a marketing gimmick to accompany the emergence of whiskey/and as a trendy drink. That is, until I actually drank from one. i am sold Glencairn brings out the flavor and aroma of whiskey perfectly. You'll have a hard time seeing me drinking from a glass or an old-fashioned glass again if I can help. The size, weight and feel of this jar is also fantastic - solid but not bulky or bulky at all. The lip is not thick enough to disturb or otherwise…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • No paint needed

The original, arrived safely and on time.

EDIT TO ADD: Obviously these nice looking glasses are a lot more durable than I thought. In a moment of early morning awkwardness, I pushed one off the counter onto our hardwood floor. He is still completely intact. I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. I'm certainly not going to try this again on purpose to try it out, but wanted to share this. ____________________ I have used these glasses at tastings and events and they really enhance the enjoyment of a good…

Pros
  • Sturdy Finish
Cons
  • Damaged

This glass is perfect for whiskey and dishwasher safe!

This glass is the perfect size and shape for a variety of spirits in my opinion, but I've personally only tried it with bourbon and rye. The top concentrates the bouquet of the liquid in the glass on the nose (and may concentrate it too much on the first pour. I pour and wait about 5 minutes, which is difficult if you just want to dip!). And the size of the jar is small enough to pour sparingly without being too delicate to hold in hand. Finally, this glass is built to last: I saw this comment…

Pros
  • Kitchen & Dining
Cons
  • Damaged

Expand your whiskey options

I only started drinking bourbon over a year and a half ago. During these months I have only used standard glasses from Target. As I delved deeper into the art of whiskey drinking, I discovered that one of the most important factors in tasting is the glass in which it is served. I have seen many videos and pictures of this glass being used by whiskey enthusiasts. I was skeptical at first because I didn't think a jar would change the situation that much. But I decided to give it a try just to…

Pros
  • Dining and entertainment
Cons
  • unreliable

You can't go wrong with a real whiskey glass!

I'm slowly starting to collect whiskey. I've been to distilleries in Scotland and Ireland and tasted Scotch whiskies, bourbons and whiskeys from all over the world. I have a starter collection of all kinds of whiskeys and bourbons that I buy whenever I can. Again and again they are served and drunk from a Glencairn whiskey glass. It's the result of the old adage, "Necessity is the mother of invention." If you're drinking whiskey from a regular or rock glass, you're missing out on half the fun -

Pros
  • Home and kitchen
Cons
  • String is shorter than other picks
