barturtle Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I didn't know that Fred's signature degraded the value of things that much. That's a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobourbon Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Every regular set I see on Ebay is always a lot higher, Tim. There's a set now, with 22 hours left, that's already $28.77. My gain, their loss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffRenner Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Last weekend, I purchased a pair of the spirits/fortified wines/cask aged brandies "O" glasses at the area BB&B. I like 'em -- think of a cross between the Riedel bourbon glasses and the "O" Riesling/Sauvignon Blanc ones. They are sort of the size of the former (without the stem), and the shape of the latter.Alas, they are the same price as the half-again larger ones -- $19.99/pair. I like mine, too. A lot - they are my standard glass for spirits now, unless I am adding ice. Sadly, I broke one from being a little careless washing it.As I noted in a post in october in this thread, you can get them from The Wine Enthusiast for $14.95/pair with free shipping.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8erdane Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I was at Bed Bath and Beyond the other day and they had a complete O series tasting set of two of each glass, including the fortified wine/beverage glass for 99.99. They have them advertised on opening web page right now as well for that price. 10 glasses total in five different sizes. Great glasses in sizes to fit any mood.

GoodDrinkin Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Anyone here try the Single Malt Scotch glasses? I like them quite a bit for bourbon and scotch. I do want to try the Bourbon glasses though. I also like to use Reidel Port glasses for drinking whiskey, especially Cognac. I've never liked the big bowl brandy snifters. Too much air on the whiskey IMO and I personally don't like to heat up the whiskey with my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It holds the bouquet tremendously and it a delight to drink from. I personally dont recommend the Riedel bourbon glasses, both the Single Malt glasses and all the cognac glasses are far superiour IMO. I agree with you about a standard snifter, too much alcohol emphasis. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of Riedel 'O' Port/Spirit glasses arriving, and will compare and report back.Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scopenut Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The Riedel O spirit/fortified wine glasses (414/60) arrived yesterday. On first use, the glass seems slightly more fragile than the Riedel Bourbon glass. In any case, these glasses are light, and very nice. To me it's a tossup as to which I prefer. The inward turn of the lip on both is comparable and concentrates the nose nicely. Can't go wrong with either of them. Both keep the bourbon from spilling on the table when poured.
