Glencairn Whiskey Glass by Stolzle Review

I recently bought this glass to enjoy (you guessed it) a sip of whiskey. And wow, I was surprised. I never expected the glass to have any significant meaning. Not at all. My expectations were fully justified. It may be that with the help of this glass I tasted the whiskey effectively, but the taste has also noticeably (and significantly) improved. In fact, I started with a "daily drink" to see if there was a difference. The first words out of my mouth were "Wow". Then I returned for another…

When I opened the box and saw the jar, I was amazed. This is a really good bourbon glass with a very sophisticated design. Love the fact that unlike many cheap bar items, this is lead-free crystal (unless it says so on the packaging, it usually isn't). The only comment I have is how thin the top of the glass is. The base seems very strong and thick, but it seems that the top part can break even with the slightest accidental hit. That doesn't mean you can't have fun with him; only if you hit the

Due to the relatively small size and slightly expensive look I wasn't really sure I would like this glass so I only ordered two of these at first. Now after using it for a few months I think I like it so much that I have ordered two more. I have a shelf full of glasses that I could use for single malt whiskey including Riedel Vinum, crystal glasses, small crystal cognac glasses and white wine glasses.

The curvature of the glass traps odors in the glass. Proper sniffing will help you get the full spectrum of flavors. Don't be afraid to…

That's great! I used to enjoy my bourbon in rock glasses, but after switching to a more expensive bourbon, I've noticed that everyone uses them. Part of the whiskey experience is being able to 'sniff' it (the ability to capture the characters/flavors in the product) and the shape of this glassware makes it easier to channel the vapors giving you a finer scent. Rapid oxidation, facilitated by aerating the bourbon by rotating the glass, can also help. This particular brand is top notch. They…

I'm quite a skeptical guy. You know, the kind of guy who usually points and laughs at people who think the kind of glass you drink from can really make a big difference. Well, this style of glass really makes a difference. I found out about this recently when I was introduced to the Scotch served in the same glass at a local drinking house and then got a bottle of good Scotch for Christmas. I tried scotch at home in an ordinary homemade glass and it just tasted bland in comparison. I realized…
