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

Just what I was looking for to share tastings with friends - or not.

I gave whiskey glasses to a friend as a gift. These Glencairn Crystal Whiskey Glasses are equal quality of the more expensive glasses that I bought for my friend.

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

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.

What a great product! I have been to so may scotch tastings where they use these glasses. All my serious scotch drinking friends also have them. I saw these here on Amazon and saw a good price. I used that very often and I am so glad I got them. They are very gift-able to that scotch drinker in your life. They will appreciate the gift and thought.

Fine crystal glasses, beautifully boxed. I am using them myself, & will order another set of 6 to give as a gift along with a fine Scottish whisky.

I have about 3 Glencairn glasses from Crate & Barrel. They have a substantial, well-defined etching on the bottom that displays The Glencairn Glass. These ones are different - the text etched on the bottom is more like a cursive, and is less well defined. The letters are also thinner, and seem like the the etching is less well defined. This makes me believe that these are lower quality, and / or possibly fake Glencairn glasses. The shape of the glasses is the same, and I cant tell that there are really any other differences, but it makes me suspicious of the glass quality. Unfortunately, I was giving these as gifts, and didnt have any time to get Crate & Barrel ones at that point. If I had to do it again, Id probably just go with the C&B glasses that I know are genuine and high quality. I suppose theres a chance that these still are fine, but when youre buying these glasses, the details matter, so Id prefer to pay a bit more to make sure those details are right, and the glasses are genuine. If this does not matter to you, then functionally, Im sure theyre the same. I cannot speak to comparative longevity or durability yet, but will amend my comment if the people who received these from me run into any issues down the line.

If you wish to taste your whiskeys and rums or any good fermented, distilled, aged liquids, then get you a set of Glencairn Whiskey glasses. I love the shape and size. It allows me to not put too much alcoholic liquid in the glass, but allows for maximum use of your olfactory senses. I like the fact that I can swirl the amber liquid and allow it to breath and bloom in the glass and get more flavor notes on my palette. I was surprised that a single glass did not break during shipping process due to the thin glass and the simple shipping box. The glasses are simple in looks and do the job well of allowing you to truly taste your precious liquids. Im not saying you cant do this with a standard whiskey glass, but the Glencairn glass concentrates the perfume of the liquid into your nose thereby minimizing outside odors. As they say you start your tasting with your eyes, then your nose, then your taste buds.

Great product and great for use with bourbon. Have used it many times with my bourbon tastings

I gave these glasses a rare 5 stars and heres why- the arrived in the proper box with proper markings, all the glasses were blemish free , now im not going to sit here and say that they immediatly changed the the taste of my bourbon i did have a major change in mouth feel , but i was six drinks in and mixing with rums and tequilas which effected my tatse buds . I did get an instant change in nose ! And picked up some verry rich cherry, and choclate notes in my bourbon , my first time! And that alone was enough to boost it to 5 stars ! In closing believe the hype!!! at first i didnt !
