Schott Zwiesel Top Ten Barrel Aged Spirit Glass

[gothbat]

Well, I know they’ve been mentioned in posts but I’ve never seen a thread about these glasses so I figured I’d start one. I bought a box of these not too long ago and I have to say I’m pretty impressed as these glasses combine features from 3 different glasses. First, and most importantly the bulb fits well in my palm which allows the bourbon to warm a little, just like drinking out of a snifter. The shape of the glass itself is essentially that of the Glencairn glass, which I never cared much for because of it's lack of palmability, so it’s good for nosing. This is actually a bigger version of the Glencairn glass on a stem. Finally, although it’s not really much of a feature, the long stem gives it the elegant look of a nice wine glass. I don’t think these will replace my snifters but so far they’re the only glass I’ve had that has come close, I’ll definitely get some use out of these! I consider these a good deal too, I don’t know what they go for in stores but the ad for them said list price was something ridiculous like $128.99 for a box of 6, I got a box of 6 for just under $30 shipped. Anyway, just thought I’d share. Here’s a picture:
