jvd99 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 So, I got my Whiskey Wedge yesterday and put it in the freezer.will try it out next time I'm in the mood for something with a little ice.It feels good in your hand, thick walls and a heavy base. http://shop.coolmaterial.com/products/the-whiskey-wedge/?utm_source=CMBlog&utm_medium=CMBlogPost&utm_campaign=WhiskeyWedge# (although it's sold out at the moment).[ATTACH=CONFIG]19820[/ATTACH]That looks really cool, it says the glass holds 9 ounces, figure about 1/2 is ice, so does it hold a 3+ ounce pour?

Kalessin Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 In search of: {glass with Mt.

johnnybogey Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 In search of:Photo credit Flickr user "TheTownSheriff" I've been looking for that glass for a long time but no luck - any help would be appreciated Did some searching and I found some leads. 1) Per "TheTownSheriff" here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajjapan/5025266073/, it looks as thought this is called a "Fuji Glass" due to the peak shape at the bottom. He later found that they were packaged as part of a gift set for Suntory Whisky. 2) In the "Rotating Glasses" here on SB http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?17964-Rotating-glasses. it looks like member Luna56 has one and started the thread. From reading that thread, it looks like Kirin sold these for a bit. They seem to be available in Japan in bars near Mt. Fuji. This thread also contains a link to "TheTownSheriff"s flickr page I referenced in point 1 above. Not sure if this helps much but thought I would share. Now I just need to find someone in Japan near Mt.Fuji who can buy some of these and ship to the US. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chooch714 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 See avatar. That is actual photo of my wedge in use containing an Stagg Jr perfect Manhattan. I use glencairns, DOFs, and rocks glasses from gift sets as well. All have their purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnybogey Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 If you just want the dimpled bottom, and aren't picky about the exact glass shape, This is an inexpensive version:http://www.amazon.com/Wine-Enthusiast-Rock-Glass-maker/dp/B006HP7GA4/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1424188836&sr=1-1&keywords=final+touchhttp://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/final-touch-on-the-rock-glass-with-ice-ball/1040585901?I actually got one of these for a Christmas gift a couple years ago.

GaryT Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I gave the Whiskey Wedge a try as well. It holds 4 oz with a little room to spare. Below is the review for any interested. I'm with chooch - every tool has its purpose. To be candid, I was expecting this to be a fail - so I was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't.http://whiskeyapostle.com/2015/02/whiskey-wedge/Although I'll admit - Glencairn is my favorite glass for drinking whiskey. I usually pour 0.5 - 1.5 oz at a time, and almost always neat with some water and a straw on standby. Right tool for the right job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-Savage Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Well after the ice wedge set in the glass I decided to give it a go with my Balvenie 12 Doublewood. The ice lasted for at least an hour. the Scotch was cold quite quickly and went down chilled and very smooth. I only did 2 1.5 oz pours. Later I tried the Balvenie in a glencairn (neat) There was a lot more flavor. Needless to say I really like the glass, I love the presentation that it does, If all you want to do is have a drink of your favorite whisky and want it on ice. This is a fantastic way to serve it. I wouldn't compare it to the whisky ball. except the ball can get a little awkward when your finishing your bourbon, scotch etc.All in All. I really like it. IF you check the what dram are you drinking thread. I have a pic with the glass and a bottle of Balvenie.

TunnelTiger Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 My favorite glass right now is the same one Francis uses in The House of Cards season 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjbeggs Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Not a very good pic, but I finally sprang for a pair of the Cibi crystal "Bladerunner" glasses. something to sip from when bringing your WWII vintage plane in for a crash landing...
