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

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 now have 18 of these - whenever I have a bourbon tasting; all attendees marvel at these glasses and end up purchasing them.

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.

Perfect for sampling spirits. Instead of a high ball glass, use this instead! Feels like youre getting more and its a better experience all around. Its really a hard feeling to pin down they are utilitarian but graceful and a unique beauty to them as well. Get some! You wont be disapointed, and if you are Ill buy them off of you!

Perfect scotch glass

I have got this same Glencairn glasses many many times for myself and as gifts. Every time someone sees this in my bar I never fail to get a compliment. The shape, the weight, size and ergonomics is perfect! Every one who has received this as gift has said the same thing this is the best glass to nose and drink scotch from. Not to be pretentious, but a right glass makes all the difference. If you are drinking anything worth more than $50, invest in this. You wont go wrong. One of the glasses had a bubble which I was very surprised given the amazing quality I have always got. I notified the seller and they promptly refunded the cost for that glass.

Amazon asked me what I thought about these so I thought I would respond. I’m be had them for over a year and use them as sipping glasses for bourbon. They have a sturdy bottom and concentrate the aromas with a wide bottom and a smaller top. I also use for port on occasion. I’m happy with them.

Get these glasses! I see all the bourbon tasters online swirling, sniffing and sipping bourbon using these glasses. I wasn’t sure of what the hype was until I got these glasses and tried them with some Willet, Blade and Bow and Angel’s Envy Rye aged in bourbon casks. You really do get to experience an amazing nose unlike form a regular whiskey glass before sipping your favorite whiskey. Realistically, these glasses are for drinking whiskey neat, with a little water or one ice cube (that’s one ice cube). Fantastic glasses at a great better price!

These are quite nice. They dont feel cheap and have a great weight to them. The etched bottom is a nice touch. I would consider these a great gift for any whisk(e)y/bourbon drinker.
