393foureyedfox Posted March 8, 2014 i find myself going to the rocks glasses most often as well. I like a 6-8oz rocks glass with a heavy thick bottom. I bought a set of nice 1940's cut crystal rocks glasses, but dammit if i havent already broken one. HH also gave us some nice rocks glasses of this size when we took one of the upper level tours last year, that have "elijah craig 18 years old" etched into them. snifters just feel weird to me.

393foureyedfox Posted March 10, 2014 saw this in an antiques shop today......"but I only had one drink", I thought..... surely, it was meant to be some kind of bowl, but it is about a quart size and looks just like a huge rocks glass. I considered getting it just for the novelty of using it on games nights Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaveOfAtl Posted March 11, 2014 I'm also getting tired of Glencairns. They are great if I'm tasting something new and really want to focus the nose, but I'm now using the small stemless wine glasses that SmokinJoe has turned me on to. I also have one of those Riedel whiskey glasses that I like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChainWhip Posted March 13, 2014 Cognac glasses are always a good change of pace for whiskies. I'm tempted to try some of those NEAT glasses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure I know what you are talking about, but just curious.I have been switching back and forth between a regular glencairn, a widemouth glencairn, a port wine glass, and a simple rocks glass. All serve their respective purposes, but I find myself alternating mostly between the regular glencairn and the port glass. The rest sit lonely on the shelf.

393foureyedfox Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Not my favorites per se, but I've been using the big-bottomed-tapered-to-the-top RR 1792 rocks glasses with much enjoyment, lately. Nice heft, but without being clunky. Sleek, actually. And, extremely versatile. Big enough for a cocktail, but it's tapered shape allows for superb neat sipping.

393foureyedfox Posted March 15, 2014 forgot the no auction link thingy........ so, Joe, are these the ones youre talking about.....the RR1792 glasses? If so, they are Libbey Vibe glasses, and much cheaper if you get them plain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravensfire Posted March 19, 2014 I really like the look of the cut crystal glasses. I'd love to find some of the wide-mouth glencairn's in that style. My current favorite is a simple, basic rocks glass that were my grandfather's whom I was named after. Monogrammed with my last name initial, these are fairly old and have some serious heft in the bottom. It's that connection to my past plus the substantial feel that I just love about them. New bottles are usually poured in a regular glencairn first, but afterwards it's generally in my rocks glass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigerlam92 Posted March 24, 2014 Ok, I love Bladerunner and the design of that glass looks great. But the price is pretty crazy, not astronomical but just way too high. If it was 1/4 the price, I would consider it.Is there a cheaper version we can buy, hahaha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
