Review: Great Quality - I bought these as a gift and the recipient was very pleased. These are the real deal, not a cheap copy. They are perfect for drinking whiskey.
Review: Perfect Gift for the Whisky Drinker - If you are a whisky drinker, these glasses are a must. The quality of these glasses is very good and affordable (since they don't have someone's logo on the outside). As with any glass, take care in handling as they do have a thin lip.

## Features

The tapered mouth allows and ease of drinking not associated with traditional nosing glasses. While capturing that all-important bouquet.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are they 4 Individually Boxed Glencairn Glasses or all 4 glasses in a plain box?**
A: These are NOT shipped in a 4 piece retail box.  These are pieced out from 6 piece wholesale boxes and packed (4 glasses) into a 6 piece box with bubble wrap.  If you want the retail package of a 4 piece box - do not order this.  I have ordered twice and both times these were open box items packed into a 6 piece box with bubble wrap to fill the blank spots.

**Q: The Amazon.com description mentions "dishwasher safe". Is this correct?**
A: They are most definitely dishwasher safe but I find them to be very fragile, so I hand wash. I'm afraid the mouth will break if not properly and carefully loaded in the dishwasher.

**Q: how many ounces**
A: If you are using the glass as intended as a whiskey tasting glass, the capacity intended would be 2 ounces.This gives the whiskey room, for proper tasting.  Filled to the rim would be about 7 ounces. We are pleased with them for tasting whiskey. I'd recommend them if that is your intention.

**Q: Are these made by Glencairn Crystal? (is that name etched on the bottom?)**
A: Mine were Chinese knockoffs..no brand name etched on bottom, plain glass, shipped in plain cardboard and just wrapped once in bubble wrap- miraculously shipped from China without cracking.
but German-made, original Glencairn crystal...NOPE

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great glasses, totally worth it.
*by F***1 on December 22, 2016*

Glad I got these. For the price I give 5 stars. I didn't necessarily "have to have" the "official" scotch glass (I don't like overpaying for hype), but after poking around online I didn't really see anything cheaper that still had a good shape for nosing/tasting. I ordered 2 sets of 4 - so 8 glasses - and they arrived in a Glencairn box of 6 plus 2 extra glasses wrapped separately :) Makes no difference to me. Perhaps just offer sets of 6, some people would want exactly that. Mine are etched "The Glencairn Glass" on the bottom - in a way that you read it looking into the glass. I'm not a crystal or glassware snob, but I do prefer quality vessels for beverages and food - IMHO it contributes to the enjoyment. My guests always smile when I insist that they use a beer mug or beer tulip instead of drinking from the bottle (what are we, animals? ha-ha :) Anyway, I have a bunch of Mikasa lead crystal red wine glasses (similar to Riedel quality), which I love (so elegant) and the Glencairn is "not quite" the same quality. It's just slightly thicker and less lustrous and should cost a bit less, but I don't mind, still looks and feels proper. The coolest thing about it is that the shape slightly resembles the shape of a pot still, just like some of the more classic Scotch bottles do (usually it's in the neck of the bottle, i.e. Old Pulteney). I wanted these instead of brandy snifters, because those just feel "stuffy", pretentious and in my mind are associated with corrupt fat cats, cigar smoke, etc. and I didn't want that (but malts do taste delightful out of brandy snifters). I would've liked these to be a bit larger, especially the bulb of the "tulip", but I don't see taking away stars for that - this is what the designers intended and this is "the" malt glass, which is why we are buying it. If I don't like that, I should design my own glass, which I won't, because I have no skills/resources. I'd rather just enjoy me malt ;) UPDATE and TIP: I've used mine for a few months drinking single malts, cognac and armagnac. Drinking solo most days I use one and the same glass and wash it every time, but it still developed a yellow rim that wouldn't come off with dish soap. Yesterday I used some plain bleach and it disappeared, so if you observe the yellowing, it's a quick fix. Hydrogen peroxide would probably also work well. This is not the glass' flaw, IMO, just the nature of the drink :)
