Questions & Answers

The bottom of the glass seems to bear Glencairn, but is it etched?

In short, yes. In the original glass, there should have been There is an etched message on the bottom of the glass that can be read when looking into the glass, "The Gleancairn Glass.".

What is the authenticity of these pictures? How about the bottom of the glasses? Are they etched? Can you tell me from where they ship?

My understanding of what authentic means is completely lost on me. A few years ago, I saw and bought some in Ireland, and I purchased them since then on If you want to find something that is "authentic," then you need to look for it in some old, old glass store in Ireland.

What are the monogram options for the Glencairn whiskey glasses?

Though I am not sure, I would think it is possible. Whether you can get a monogram in your area will depend on which company offers the service. If your company has people who specialize in bespoke services, it is most likely they will handle your needs. My love of them has grown over the past five years as I have bought several dozens.

Can cream glass etch be used on ?

do not know for certain, but reading several brands of glass etching paste, it certainly sounds like it

Get a set of these glasses if you like whisky
5/5

My desire to purchase these glasses grew after I saw them on The Whisky Vault YouTube channel. Since I was a teenager, I had been drinking from a standard rocks glass. There is a great deal of quality in the glassware and it feels great The intention was to enhance the flavor of whisky just by adding these to the bottle. I was surprised, however, to discover that the flavor had intensified as well, and not only the smell. It is probably both the more intense smell emitted by the tulip shape and the smaller mouth of the glass that leads to this. You're missing out if you don't have a set of these if you're a whisky drinker.

Despite all the hype, they do live up to it
5/5

The truth is that I am neither an expert whisky taster nor a whisky The whisky I love is an everyman's drink to me, but I am equally impressed with it as a craft that is a study in itself, capable of revealing marvelous nuances. I cannot argue with anything you want to do with it or how you want to enjoy it, and I won't argue with you on what you enjoy. What is your favorite way to enjoy Scotch, red wine, and orange juice? Chill in a Collins glass with ice and chug away! Thanks, and cheers! Now, that said, when it comes to my enjoyment of beverages, I am very particular about the glasses I use. appreciate what the material can do for the senses, as well as what it does for me. When I drink spirits, I like a nice heavy glass, but not something so overbuilt as to interfere. Just like the feel in the hand of a delicate fluted glass when drinking sparkling wine, I like the look and feel in the hand of a heavy glass when I drink spirits. It's hard for me to find glassware that I like in both look and feel This is a better whisky than the Glencairn. Heavy base lets it feel sturdy in your hand while keeping the device low on the table so your hand does not get tangled in it while you pick it up to check the liquid. Elegant and refined without being pretentious or overly complicated, the glass itself is beautiful. My prediction is that as time goes on, whisky glasses will become as commonplace and well-known as wine glasses are today as the unique glassware for whisky. Besides being very attractive and distinctly a glass for complex spirits, the tulip-shaped design at the base allows for a nice quick swirl, and concentrating scents when you wish to put your nose into the glass, one nostril at a time. If you are having trouble doing this, there is a way to do it without being totally awkward, although it might take a bit of practice. I also recommend relaxing your jaw and keeping your mouth open as much as possible during this exercise. The aroma in a glass like this is unquestionably stronger than it is in a regular glass. It depends on your sense of smell whether or not you notice particular things in your favorite whiskies. Since the sense of smell plays such an important role in our perception of taste, I would conclude that Glencairns are worth buying purely on their basis. In general, drinking out of a Glencairn is not a very social experience. find it difficult to maintain eye contact across a table with someone who is taking a sip while you're sipping, which is perhaps the biggest drawback of It has the advantage of forcing you to concentrate more on the drink itself because breaking your eye line forces you to do so. By emphasizing the scents towards your nose as you drink, the shape of the glass provides an additional benefit to the flavor of the drink as well. It is not my intent to claim that I know how the shape of the glass affects the flow of the liquid itself, or to speculate about the benefits that may be derived from it. Additionally, there are a variety of other whisky glasses on the market. Let me leave it to you to decide which one enhances the whisky better - Although I don't have extensive drinking experience, I know quite a bit about glass and how it is made, so I believe the Glencairn will ultimately win First and foremost, it is a simple design, which means it is easier to manufacture and more durable. In addition, as a result of its simplicity, its price is and will remain a low one, meaning that its adoption by "regular" people has a higher chance of success. There is no doubt that the Glaincairn will be widely imitated, with perhaps a few minor future variations adding to its appeal. There can be no denying that the Glencairn is a winner and accomplishes the task at hand.

I got precisely what I wanted
5/5

Are you still on the fence about purchasing? You should definitely give it a shot! The fact that Ralfy posted them on RALFY prompted me to purchase them. YouTube whisky guy - www. youtube. com Using his contact information, look up his name. A few days later, I saw one of these on display at the World Market near me. The four I ordered were not as good as the six, so I ordered a set of six instead. In the last half hour, I got the box. concerned that there might be a broken one or two in the shipment, but I got them all in good shape. After I gave two to my mom for her bar, I washed one myself and poured a bit of my favorite brandy, Torres 10. Although I don't think this is the best snifter I've ever tasted, it's a great price for you. It's a whole different experience from my Compared to usual, I got an unusually large amount of fruit this morning. Here are some other tasting notes you won't want to read Even if I were that good, I wouldn't be as effective. The first thing I can say is I love these kinds of glass and can't wait to try more. It's not a large pair of To put it simply, you put two or three shots at a time, up to about the middle of the convex part (the part where the curve ends). The most important thing is to let it breathe you can swirl it a little but mostly not. After that, take a small sip and then sniff it. In comparison with a highball glass, this is a major improvement. You'll enjoy it.

As expected, the bottom of the etching does not match the top
3/5

The Glencairn glasses that Crate & Barrel gave me can hold several drinks There's a barrel. Their cash flow is substantial, and they have an excellent track record This sign displays a defined etching of The Glencairn Glass on its bottom. The ones I'm describing are different -- In contrast with the well-defined text on the top, the text etched on the bottom is more like a cursive. Furthermore, the letters are thinner and the etching is not as defined as when it was first etched. Therefore, these glasses appear to be of poor quality and possibly fake Glencairns. My suspicion is that the glass quality is suspect because the shape of the glasses is the same, and no other differences are apparent, but of course nothing else is. Sadly, I had to give these as gifts, and I did not have time to go to Crate & Barrel to purchase them That was the point when barrel ones were used. The C&C would probably be my first choice if I had to do it again Authentic and high-quality B glasses are what I know to be genuine. The glasses still might be fine, but when you're buying them, the details matter. I'd rather spend a little bit more to ensure that the details are correct and that my glasses are genuine. If this does not matter to you, then they're just as good functionally. It is too soon for me to make a comment on the longevity or durability of these yet, but I will amend my comment if my customers run into any issues later on.

This product needs to be better controlled
3/5

In my experience, Glencairn glasses are great for whiskey tasting, and I've used them for quite some time. However, I think the quality control needs to be stepped up. There is a flaw in the glass of a recent purchase, and it looks like there is a burst air bubble, which has sharp edges outside (indicated by the white circle).
