jmj_203 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I almost bought a set, not sure if its worth it at the price of almost $20 a glass. They like to advertise these are the official glass of some tasting in the past. The shape looks worth testing, but I already have hard to beat glencairns and thats 40 I would rather spend on another bottle to savor. Link to post Share on other sites
smknjoe Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Nope, but they sure look like they would be a pain in the ass to sip out of with that big "hump" to get over. Link to post Share on other sites
VAGentleman Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I tried a tasting with Glencairn, old fashioned and neat glasses. Glencairn had the best smell closely followed by the old fashioned. I swear I didn't smell anything out of the neat glasses. Link to post Share on other sites
kjbeggs Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I've got a set. Prefer my Glancairns, and like Joe said, they can be a PITA to sip from.That said, I pull 'em out on occasion (usually when i don't have enough Glencairns to go around).If you want to see for yourself, you can save a few bucks here: https://www.touchofmodern.com/sales/the-ultimate-spirits-glass-08bf0e6a-6893-47a2-9977-4c75127768d0/neat-drinking-glass-set-of-twoI've been wanting to try the "Canadian Glencairn" myself.

cowdery Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I have a couple. I like them okay. It's a different and pleasurable experience to drink from them. That said, I still tend to reach for a Glencairn or something similar, or a plain, old on-the-rocks glass. Link to post Share on other sites
