fosmith Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I often see YouTube videos or photos posted to Facebook groups that have cool looking glasses that I would like to try but I don't know what they are called. The one here is used a lot by Matt on his ADHD Whiskey YouTube videos and I always wanted to know what it was. I think the proportions are more visually appealing than the Glencairn. I saw it posted in a Facebook and commented asking what it was. The author kindly replied that it is a Viski Footed Crystal Scotch Glass so I ordered a couple from Amazon. I tried it out yesterday and really like it. So, do you have an interesting glass that you drink spirits from that you can share? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got them off Amazon a few years ago and they were called Joyjolt glasses. Sort of an angular version of the glencairn, a little bit larger in size. I do most of my sipping from glencairns. But I have others. The Aged & Ore glass is a good design. It's not a very high quality execution but the shape and size is well thought out. And I have a few other nice ones I really like, such as the norlan "Rauk" tumbler. It's solid as a, "rauk"? haha My absolute favorite glass for a quality pour is the cut crystal glengairn. Snazzy.

Clueby Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 You can tell it was a good night the night before when these are the glasses waiting to be washed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the method that I use to keep track of how many pours that I've had. I rarely use the same glass twice, unless I'm drinking a high-proofer over a large cube and not all of the ice has melted... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 This is a Simon Pearce glencarin, I forget the actual style name. It looks like a standard glencarin but is at least twice as thick. They are heft!y! No fears when washing these. My wife bought them for me for Christmas a few years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 VESL glass. Very cool but not cheap at $60 each. A nice birthday present from my wife. At a glance, they look like they would be quite fragile but the glass is over a mm thick so quite sturdy. Into the dishwasher with no qualms.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 The glass was gifted by a friend of mine who lives across the street from the distillery. She bought me my first bottle of New Riff, shortly after they opened. They've been a staple on our bar ever since... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Not a whiskey glass, but Mrssmokinjoe again continued a tradition established by my late oldest brother back in 1980. This year’s Budweiser Christmas Stein. Always a highlight to receive each Christmas. I broke it in, today! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
