GLENCAIRN Whiskey Glass, Gift Set of 2 in Twin Carton

While whiskey is the key beverage to enjoy out of these fine works of art, I've found that they're also great for port wines and stouts. And I'm sure there are many other types of drink that are great to enjoy from this glass which I haven't tried yet.Don't hesitate to buy two though, you will probably break one. But then you will know where the breaking point is, and are much less likely to break another one. They are fragile, but not especially so for the design. The glass is fine. It IS the perfect thickness/thinness all around. Nice bottom weight, thin top. Well-balanced.I can't stand any type of glass that's too thin OR too thick at the cusp. You might think "why aren't all glasses super thick so that they're more durable? Especially glasses specifically designed for ALCOHOL - a beverage known to cause instability and clumsiness!" So you go and buy thick glasses, which are thick all the way through the cusp... only to realize they seriously change the way the beverage tastes - almost always for the worse. When a glass is too thick at the top - at the cusp - it's uncanny how much it simplifies the beverage into a monotonous flavor and consistency. You do want a thinner glass at the top - but not too thin either, to where it almost cuts into your lips when you drink! The Glencairn hits the perfect balance here.Remarkable glass. I did unfortunately break one, so I will be buying another pair. I recommend buying a set of 4 now that I've tried them and know how good they are, but it was nice to have the option to buy just two so I could see if they were for me before I made the investment in stocking up on 4 total.You will need some kind of thin "wand" to thoroughly clean these with - it is a narrow cusp to fit any scrubbing tool through, and the fine beverages you'll be enjoying from this glass deserve to be poured into a glass that's been cleaned to a like-new level.Above all, it is such an affordable price. One of those rare times when truly unabbreviated high-class elegance is affordable for everyone. That is probably the best part of all of this. I wish I'd bought these years ago.

This glass feels heavy, sturdy, and well-balanced in the hand—the kind of weight you want for sipping whiskey. The design is simple but elegant, with just the right thickness to keep drinks cold without feeling bulky.I’ve used it for bourbon, scotch, and even an old fashioned, and it works perfectly for all of them. The clarity of the glass really shows off the color of the whiskey, and it has that premium feel you’d expect from a high-quality glass.

They are just the right size, beautiful and well made. I bought several for my brother’s bourbon room to use with flights

Nice glasses though you have to be careful with the thin construction. The do just as described in opening the nose and bouquet making fine whiskey a more fun and enjoyable experience

Highly recommend. will buy more as gifts as it really makes a difference in a quality whisky--believe it or not--it does concentrate the aroma and flavors! I paused on buying these as I actually don't prefer the look of the glass--I love the look and feel of the classic large wide cut crystal whisky/highball glass, so now I use both--gotta try it. I only bought one to start--to test it, then bought this double pack.

I recently picked up a set of Glencairn glasses, and I can confidently say they live up to the hype. The shape of the glass really does enhance the nose and flavor of the whiskey. It feels solid in the hand, with just the right weight and balance. The wide bowl and narrow rim concentrate the aroma beautifully, making each sip a fuller experience.

Ordered for a gift. Received 2 individual boxes not one box with 2 glasses. Quality of items is excellent.

Exactly what we were looking for and at a great price!
