The Glencairn Glass

Best mixer I have found for whiskey

For several years it's been impossible to watch review videos of Whiskey (and even other spirits) without seeing this glass. I was always a little skeptical about how much difference it would make. These aren't exactly low priced either. But I wanted to try one out so I treated myself both to the glass and a reasonably decent bottle of bourbon. The difference was incredible. First off I actually could smell some of the things described by others when all I ever got before was 'Whiskey'. This glass encourages smaller sips. I suspect sips that were too large was the reason I mostly tasted the alcohol burn in the past. I actually got to taste what was behind that and it was good. Finally, because of that, an ounce or two lasts a while and seems like enough. It made the money spent on the bottle seem a lot more worth the price. The price of the glass was mostly forgotten. If you're going to drink whisky neat, get one of these and just get the original. It's sturdy and I don't feel like it's going to shatter if I look at it wrong.

These glasses fit the hand nicely and have a good base for not tipping over. They allow for the best appreciation of good whiskey when served neat. Note: They are too small for standard ice cubes. They are made of quality glass but will break if the rim is accidentally banged against the edge of the sink. (Don't ask me how I know) ;-)I like these glasses and will buy them again.

I needed to replace a shattered glass and found many not made in Scotland but in the far east. The non-traditional glasses were a little off color or not quite the same. This one is true, matches my set to perfection, boxed well, and now I can share my single malt in an appropriate glass.

Great for fine spirits

Much smaller than expected but a quality glass.

I just started getting into whiskey tasting and I read that these are the glasses to use. I just tried it out and I like it. Comes in sturdy packaging so it wasn't broken. The shape of the glass makes it easy to smell your liquor. Overall great for someone getting into whiskey tasting or a replacement glass for someone that has several of these already.

Delivery of order was fast. Bought them for someone for Christmas and can’t wait to give them these beautiful, different glasses for their bourbon enjoyment
