I am no master whisky taster, nor am I a snob. I'm a firm believer in whisky as an everyman's 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 you'll 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, I'm 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 haven't 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 don't 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 won't 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 it's 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.

Still pondering the purchase? I say go for it! I ordered these after seeing Ralfy on ralfy.com (YouTube whiskey guy--look him up) using his. I later saw one of these left at my local World Market. I wanted four, but six was better, so I ordered this set. I got the box about half an hour ago. I was a bit worried that I'd get a broken one or two, but they survived the shipping and delivery stages just fine. After giving two to my mom for her bar, I washed one for me and proceeded to pour a "wee dram" of my favorite brandy, Torres 10--not the greatest ever, but a great buy for the price. The tasting experience is WAY different than in my brandy snifter. For starters, I got a lot more fruit than usual. I won't bore folks with the other tasting notes; I'm not that good, anyway. I'll just say that I can't wait to try other things in this kind of glass. They're not large glasses. For those who don't know, you put an amount similar to two or three shots in at a time, up to about the middle of the convex part (the part that curves out). You can swirl it a little, but mostly just let it breathe. Then have a sniff, followed by a small sip. It's definitely an improvement over a highball glass. Enjoy! :)

Beautiful glasses

The old saying you get what you pay for rings true with this product .. and it is tempting to buy a six pack knock off, of The Glencairn Glass for only$39 Cdn but you will kick yourself afterwards for the poor quality imitation and throwing good money away .. I especially like that each glass has its own colorful well designed box that makes the shipping process much more secure and also makes a beautiful presentation if you would like to offer as a gift to someone special .. buy with confidence .. Slange!

The glasses are defective and flawed. Very poor quality as you can see from the photos. They are not genuine Glencairn brand but manufactured in China and are counterfeits.

Just as described. Exactly what I wanted.

Top notch quality... The package was also delivered in quite a good packaging

THE ORIGINAL GLASSES, JUST BUY THEM, I HAVE HAD THEM SHIPPED TO MUMBAI, INDIA. 3 BOXES SO FAR. BUY
