Review: Perfect Gift for the Whisky Drinker - If you are a whisky drinker, these glasses are a must. The quality of these glasses is very good and affordable (since they don't have someone's logo on the outside). As with any glass, take care in handling as they do have a thin lip.
Review: Great Quality - I bought these as a gift and the recipient was very pleased. These are the real deal, not a cheap copy. They are perfect for drinking whiskey.

## Features

- THE OFFICIAL WHISKY GLASS - In the long and illustrious history of whisky, there has never been a single definitive glass that the whisky world could call its own.

The Glencairn Glass’ roots lie in the traditional nosing and tasting glasses used by master blenders and connoisseurs around the world.
- ENHANCING YOUR WHISKY EXPERIENCE - The unique and stylish shape has been crafted with eminent care to enhance the enjoyment of single malts and aged blends. The tapered mouth allows and ease of drinking not associated with traditional nosing glasses. While capturing that all-important bouquet. The wide bowl allows the fullest appreciation of the whisky’s colour and the solid base is designed to be easy on the hand.
- CRYSTAL WHISKY GLASSES - The Glencairn Glass can be found at major whisky festivals around the world and in many serious whisky bars. The glass is also used in distilleries across the globe. Since its launch in 2001 the glass has won numerous awards including the Queens Award for Innovation. Today, over 3 million glasses are sold annually and sales continue to grow.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do they come in individual boxes as pictured?**
A: I purchased my set in Oct 2020 (set of 6). They were in one box, separated by cardboard dividers only (vs separate boxes).

**Q: Can you get them with an initial on them ?**
A: You can get them engraved elsewhere

**Q: Do the glasses have the "Official Glencairn Glass" etched on the bottom?**
A: Looking into the glass you can read - THE GLENCAIRN GLASS - on the bottom. They are identical in every way to the ones I have in the cupboard that have been washed many times. Came in two boxes of six instead of 12 single.

**Q: Diameter of bottom?**
A: Here are the 'stats' on the Glencairn Whiskey Glass: Overall Dimensions: 
Top Diameter: 1 7/8"
Bottom Diameter: 1 7/8"
Maximum Diameter: 2 1/2"
Height: 4 1/2"
Capacity: 6 oz.

The looks, weight and balance along with it's unique shape make this glass by far one of my favorite whiskey glasses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great glasses, totally worth it.
*by F***1 on December 22, 2016*

Glad I got these. For the price I give 5 stars. I didn't necessarily "have to have" the "official" scotch glass (I don't like overpaying for hype), but after poking around online I didn't really see anything cheaper that still had a good shape for nosing/tasting. I ordered 2 sets of 4 - so 8 glasses - and they arrived in a Glencairn box of 6 plus 2 extra glasses wrapped separately :) Makes no difference to me. Perhaps just offer sets of 6, some people would want exactly that. Mine are etched "The Glencairn Glass" on the bottom - in a way that you read it looking into the glass. I'm not a crystal or glassware snob, but I do prefer quality vessels for beverages and food - IMHO it contributes to the enjoyment. My guests always smile when I insist that they use a beer mug or beer tulip instead of drinking from the bottle (what are we, animals? ha-ha :) Anyway, I have a bunch of Mikasa lead crystal red wine glasses (similar to Riedel quality), which I love (so elegant) and the Glencairn is "not quite" the same quality. It's just slightly thicker and less lustrous and should cost a bit less, but I don't mind, still looks and feels proper. The coolest thing about it is that the shape slightly resembles the shape of a pot still, just like some of the more classic Scotch bottles do (usually it's in the neck of the bottle, i.e. Old Pulteney). I wanted these instead of brandy snifters, because those just feel "stuffy", pretentious and in my mind are associated with corrupt fat cats, cigar smoke, etc. and I didn't want that (but malts do taste delightful out of brandy snifters). I would've liked these to be a bit larger, especially the bulb of the "tulip", but I don't see taking away stars for that - this is what the designers intended and this is "the" malt glass, which is why we are buying it. If I don't like that, I should design my own glass, which I won't, because I have no skills/resources. I'd rather just enjoy me malt ;) UPDATE and TIP: I've used mine for a few months drinking single malts, cognac and armagnac. Drinking solo most days I use one and the same glass and wash it every time, but it still developed a yellow rim that wouldn't come off with dish soap. Yesterday I used some plain bleach and it disappeared, so if you observe the yellowing, it's a quick fix. Hydrogen peroxide would probably also work well. This is not the glass' flaw, IMO, just the nature of the drink :)
