Whiskey Glass, Gift Set of 4 in 4 Pack

"It's a friggin' glass." That's what I thought, anyway, but decided, hey, if I'm going to be venturing into scotch territory, might as well give these a shot. Then I said, why not buy 4? Just in case I break a couple. $25 later, I noticed how small these things are... so the product image is a bit deceiving. No biggie... you aren't going to be filling a tumbler full of scotch anyway. I am coming from a regular old short tumbler glass. Cheap, works. Good for the nose, works for drinking a dram easily. The nose on this glass is fantastic. One of the things I enjoy most about Scotch is the nose. It is MUCH more potent and concentrated than an open tumbler glass, and the design makes it obvious as to why. It is a smaller opening as well, which keeps the aroma in the glass moreso than my cheap tumbler. Drinking from it feels snobby. I'm now snobby. Not much to say about that. =) It almost feels like drinking from the top of those old oil candle glass covers that you usually break as a kid because they were super fragile. I can't say much about durability yet because I just got them recently. Someone mentioned having the bottoms falling out... I do not see any seams or anything where they just attached them to the glass. It's the only thing I can think of as to why this would happen. Worth $25 for 4? Probably not. For me, being able to enjoy the nose definitely is. =) 201803 UPDATE: After a year, I am still drinking from my first glass. I'm not doing shots and slamming it on the table, so maybe other buyers had faulty glasses? Noticed that some people had some shoddy-looking packaging... mine came in a nice box that I STILL have (mostly because the other three glasses are still in there.) If it comes in a white package, question it. If you get the genuine thing, definitely worth $25 for 4. Still a fantastic glass to appreciate the nose of a good whisky. A nice stem to hold as well without warming the whisky. Easy to swirl and open up the whisky. Whisky whisky whisky. =) 20190909 UPDATE: After more than two years, I still have all four glasses. None of them ever broke, although to be fair, I've only used two of them (one for my home office and the other for downstairs). So if you're not a Neanderthal with your glass, this is worth the $25/4. 20191025 UPDATE: Just saw a video from Whiskey Tribe that had a Glencairn fall onto concrete. Out of all the glasses they tried, the Glencairn was the ONLY one to survive a 5-foot drop. Not saying this will, but I'd say that this TYPE of glass will most likely survive a drop. With the most optimal nosing potential, this is a steal and the only glass you should ever buy for scotch or any other whiskey. I also still have all four glasses intact and use one of them almost daily. I still love the nose on this thing. And it's still enjoyable to drink from. I'll stop updating this now, since if I haven't helped you yet with this review, I don't think I can any more. Nos trovia, slainte, gambe, prost, or whatever suits your fancy!

A great product that allows me to really enjoy a nice drink

This is the tried-and-true Glencairn glass, with "The Glencairn Glass" etched on the bottom. They're surprisingly sturdy and have no imperfections whatsoever. And of course, they really enhance the whiskey experience! My only gripe is about the packaging. My set of 4 came in a rather ugly cardboard box labeled for 6. The box had partitions, so they were all intact, but it's not ideal for storage and moving. The product itself is great.

Perfect glasses for nose compared to the Kentucky trail, big difference. Just don’t breathe into the cup when sipping or it’ll fog. Looks fragile but really isn’t. Otherwise, everything you expect from a Glencarin. Would buy again as a gift or for more guests for tastings.

Went on a Bus-Bourbon tour in Kentucky last year, and a couple of the distillers used these shape of glasses for tastings. At about that same time, I had bought a bourbon smoking kit (you burn small oak shavings, and get the smoke in the glass with the bourbon .....it's a great experience), and these shape glasses work perfect for it. A whole new way to experience your favorite bourbon.

I bought these for my son's 44th birthday, because they are BEAUTIFUL. My son was over the moon about them and went into a long explanation (for my benefit and his wife's) about how this is the best type of glass (and this particular brand) to drink whiskey/scotch from. However, I immediately had to apologize to him and make an explanation as to why the box states a set of 6 while there are only 4 in the box and 2 empty spots. I only expected 4 glasses, but this was not the right presentation for a gift. I contacted the seller and he directed me to another of his listings, saying that if I wanted the glasses in gift boxes the cost was a few dollars more. I believe that information should have been very prominent in the listing. I would have definitely paid the $ if I had been aware of it. The only thing I can think of is that when the seller buys them, a lot of them must arrive broken and this is how he sells them - 4 glasses in a 6 glass box. That's fine, but please let buyers know that they will not be purchasing glasses in a box worthy of gifting.

Nice whisky/whiskey tasting glasses!

Well formed and shaped do do the job they are built for

I had earlier picked one set from London n needed 4 more . Was glad to find this on Amazon , it’s the same as the one I picked from London . . This is the right glass for whiskey connoisseurs . .

Great quality. Having these glasses does change the experience when drinking scotch. I'm not an expert but i do enjoy a drink here and there. The feel of these glasses and the aroma you get make the experience better in my opinion. Theyre not heavy they seem like theyre quite delicate so becareful when you wash them. I recommend to anyone looking for glasses of the sort, and if youre not maybe you should consider it.

It’s not only about the nice shape of the glass, but it does make it a different experience, and a better one actually

Très bonne idée cadeau... Ces verres ont beaucoup plu. Livraison très rapide sans casse. Bon rapport qualité prix. Je recommande.

Genuine glasses for single malt lovers.
