> 24 hourAmazon asked me what I thought about these so I thought I would respond. I’m be had them for over a year and use them as sipping glasses for bourbon. They have a sturdy bottom and concentrate the aromas with a wide bottom and a smaller top. I also use for port on occasion. I’m happy with them.

> 24 hourThese add to tastings, and are great for everyday sipping. Side note: My mother-in-law also tried drinking her red wine out of these and felt they were better than wine glasses at bringing out the various notes in the flavor of her wine.

> 24 hourTheir nice glasses, I’m planning to buy more for tastings. They are surprisingly strong as well. I dropped one in my porcelain sink and it just bounced around, no chip no crack

> 24 hourAfter years of drinking from tumblers, these glasses made our whisky/whiskey/bourbon tasting even better. You can really enjoy the liquor with more senses. Aromas, colors and flavors arent lost. If youre paying the price for better drinks, then why not get the most out of them with a proper glass?

> 24 hourIf you enjoy tasting and appreciating the different notes of whiskey this is a must. Its affordable compared to other brands of glass. I did think that the shape of the glass was more of a marketing gimmick but after using it have discovered more depth to the whisky Ive been drinking.

> 24 hourI have about 3 Glencairn glasses from Crate & Barrel. They have a substantial, well-defined etching on the bottom that displays The Glencairn Glass. These ones are different - the text etched on the bottom is more like a cursive, and is less well defined. The letters are also thinner, and seem like the the etching is less well defined. This makes me believe that these are lower quality, and / or possibly fake Glencairn glasses. The shape of the glasses is the same, and I cant tell that there are really any other differences, but it makes me suspicious of the glass quality. Unfortunately, I was giving these as gifts, and didnt have any time to get Crate & Barrel ones at that point. If I had to do it again, Id probably just go with the C&B glasses that I know are genuine and high quality. I suppose theres a chance that these still are fine, but when youre buying these glasses, the details matter, so Id prefer to pay a bit more to make sure those details are right, and the glasses are genuine. If this does not matter to you, then functionally, Im sure theyre the same. I cannot speak to comparative longevity or durability yet, but will amend my comment if the people who received these from me run into any issues down the line.

> 24 hourIts a glencairn! its one of those things if you love whiskey and you like the taste of whiskey. you want taste the full flavor that the whiskey has to offer and explore it you need it. Now I read somewhere not sure if it was here as a review or somewhere else. But some used whiskey stones and it shattered the Glencairn. This is not a rocks glass if you like to mix your whiskey or you need ice or something cool it down do not use a glencarin you want a rocks glass.

> 24 hourThis is a beautiful Glencairn Glass Whiskey glass set of 6. They arrived packaged in individual boxes (6 to a box) in a sealed box. The solved mystery? The outer box has a label on it that states Sold as a set ready to ship. So those folks who purchased 4 and not six and complained that two glasses were missing, were not missing two glasses. The company obviously opens the box meant for 6 and removes 2. The price difference is insignificant, so order the set of six! The Glencairn Glass is etched on the bottom. It is easy to see, but will be obscure under difficult lighting. Some reviewers state the the etching may be fake. It is not, etching on glass is not meant to be bold, but subtle. If you pour bourbon, single malt scotch or whatever your favorites are, pouring to fill the bulb on the bottom of the glass is exactly 2 ounces. This also happens to be the recommended pour. These glasses are not meant for ice or mixing, but for drinking Neat. There was a slight spec on the bottom of one glass, not observable from the side or top, that seemed to be a manufacturing defect. I only mention it casually as a comment. I certainly would not return the glasses because of it. I own two Riedel single malt scotch glasses that I love. They cost 3x what the Glencairn glasses do and the scotch does not taste any better. I hope this review allows someone thinking about purchasing these glasses easier to decide!
