JAMES BENTLEYGlass JB Whiskey Glass – Elevate your Drinking Experience with our Whiskey Set of 2 Hand Blown, Double Wall Glass Tumbler (6oz) with 2X Ice Ball Mold - Whiskey Glasses for Men

We bought these after doing a lot of research as to finding the right whiskey glass to fit our needs. We wanted something that would allow a higher proof whiskey to breath but regardless of where it was bottled allow us to nose the profile. This glass allows us to get more than ethanol on nosing a high proof profile. Lower proofs work well in this too. This glass fits a ball of ice from either the Samsung fridge or from the included ice molds if you like it “on the rocks”. The air between the whiskey vessel and where you hold it creates an insulation that will prevent your hand from heating the whiskey too quickly. There is a line from where this is made, possibly using a mold, but it is glass. The dishes are solid glass and yes they will break. I dropped one in the sink and was sad that it broke.

I like to drink whiskey neat, or sometimes with a few rocks.I own and love my Norlan whiskey glasses, which are hand-blown, double walled glasses designed for drinking whiskey neat. The problem with them is that they are very, very fragile, and also very expensive at $48 a pair. These are almost the same...but the glass appears to me to be slightly thicker (and therefore they are more durable) and they come with a pair of BPA-free ice-ball molds which are great for making a single nice ball of ice for hot days when you want to sip on cold whiskey instead of neat. They have a very pretty twist blown into the outer glass, which I find aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to hold. Plus, these represent a better value for your money. This is my new favorite whiskey glass. The packaging is also very nice, which makes for a good gift. I like the Norlan packaging a bit better from a gift standpoint, but these are a better product in my opinion.

I am actually drinking from one of theses right now. I like the look, I like the feel, I've given them as gifts, but I have to tell you, they are pretty fragile. I had one break, on the inside, when I was dropping ice cubes into the glass. The ice poked a hole in the the inside and my good bourbon drained into the space between the inside and outside. Another one broke when I accidentally bumped it against the sink when I was washing it. On the other hand, they are not too expensive and come with a couple of ice ball forms, so all in all, not too bad a deal but you have to be very careful when using them.

I really like these glasses. They're lightweight (in a good way) and a pleasure to drink from. I like their feel and heft. The ridges on the bottom do enhance aroma when drinking neat. I have a set of Norlan as well (a gift) and they _are_ quite nice. However, when I looked into getting more, I thought these were a better value and worth trying. I'm not disappointed. There's a sweet spot for drinkware where the vessel does enhance the experience but they aren't so expensive that you cry when they break. These are solidly in that sweet spot.BTW, there was a snag with my initial order but the company was beyond excellent in resolving it. After I ordered the glasses, they sent me a note that had tips on removing the ice molds from the glasses and mentioned that some older stock had a problem with leaking ice molds and that Amazon might still have some of the old stock in inventory. Sure enough, the ice molds leaked and the company immediately made good on that. The hallmark of a great company isn't that nothing ever goes wrong, it's how they handle it when something does. Full marks in this case.

Beautiful presentation! A gift for my son-in-law who is a bourbon connoisseur. Glasses are stunning and great to have the ice makers as not all round cubes can fit in a glass this size. Very pleased!

It doesn't feel like glass it feels like plastic

I had to give a lower score for durability because these are double-walled Whiskey glasses. They are ot designed to be durable but unlike other whiskey glass manufactures you can ut ice in these ones. Some of their competitors' glasses will break if you drop a cube of ice in them. SO by comparison, they are durable.I bought these as a gift for a friend. The box they come in is nice looking, they are packed well and come with two ice ball molds, one for each glass. They look great. I highly recommend this set over some of the more expensive competitors. They look just as good, are less expensive and as I mentioned before you can put ice in them if you prefer your whiskey cold like I do.

The set is a reasonable cost and includes two spherical ice moulds but that's where the problem begins.Starting with the silicon spheres: mine were packaged with the ends crammed into the other ends creating a permanent oblong shape. They did not seal properly and no matter how much I tried to bend them back into shape, they leaked. I got around this by using rubber bands to prevent leaking, but the spheres are hard to extract without warming up a bit(sort of defeating the purpose) and often break.The glasses themselves are supposed to be insulated, but at room temperature, they do not do as great a job. Using them with my rubber band hacked ice ball made with boiled water, I ruined a whole 1.5oz of Lagavulin 16in less than 5 minutes.Also, like another reviewer said, the outer insulated material makes me feel like I'm drinking from a plastic cup versus a real glass. Otherwise, if you are drinking neat, they do not do a bad job of getting a feel for the aroma, had a nice ardbeg 10 neat.I would recommend spending a little and getting a real crystal-like ice ball product from Wintersmith or the Amazon clones (they are not just moulds but include a ice chiller to get impurities out) and a real Glencairn for sipping or a proper glass for the spherical ice-balls as they do tend to melt slower.
