Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

"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!
