Glass allows the natural & distinct color of each scoth to be seen and appreciated. Tapered top allows for true smell to rise with each sip rather than be dispersed. Great business and family gift!

I truly enjoy this glass. It is a classic. The look, feel, the quality says class and elegance all over it. I receive many compliments from my guests when we pour the single malt scotch. Will buy another set soon. A must have for the serious scotch connoisseur.

My husband loves these glasses. He says the shape funnels the aroma to the nose much better than the small brandy snifters we own and makes the experience much better. My only concern is the top edges are thin and I'm worried that they may break if the dishwasher bounces them around at all. But so far they have survived 2 washings with no problems!

I bought the set of 4 Glencairn glasses as a gift for my boyfriend, who loves whiskey but did not have proper whiskey glasses. We both found that these glasses greatly enhance flavor and aroma. The only downside is that they are rather small and feel light and delicate in your hand.

  • Scotch tastings

These glasses were used for scotch tasting and learning more about the nuances of certain scotch. This glass not only has style, but is made to enhance the enjoyment of drinking a special, expensive, single malt scotch. My husband was very surprised and is really enjoying have a special purpose glass to enjoy his scotch.

I like the design of this glass, but it could be a bit larger. It's a little small to enjoy a full dram and still have room to swirl the whiskey. It would be perfect if they could enlarge it by at least an ounce or two.

Best Uses

  • Special Occasion
  • Informal Dining

Husband loved the glasses, the feel, the asthetics, the size of the vessel from the standpoint of holding it in his hands and the volume of libation that it held. He uses them when he feels like a special treat for himself or when we have company. I gave them to him early this year as we decide to not exchange gifts this year and rather than save them to give as a gift later. He has commented several times how much he loves them.

I bought these glasses as a gift and was surprised to see that they were not packaged as a set. Each glass came in its own box and had to be wrapped separately. Because it wasn't a "set," the packaging seemed to cheapen the gift. Regardless, the glasses are great and the gift was very much appreciated. (Note, we also put a nice bottle of single malt scotch in the gift bag with the glasses.)

Much too heavy with thick rims. Riedel Vinum scotch glasses are far superior.
