I have laughed at fellow mates that told me about special whiskey glasses. Where can I buy a Glencairn tasting glass. Would be a great gift as well for my drinking buddies.

Where can one buy the Glencairn tasting glass? Can you buy it online in the UK?

I purchased a dozen glasses from a seller on eBay, then found out that they also sell directly (and at a little less cost) through their own web site, here:

http://www.cobhthaighceltique.com

That’s the best deal I was able to find. I will order my second dozen direct from them. (The first dozen are going to be gifts.)

I am interested in purchasing a dozen or so Glencairn Tasting glasses as gifts over over the internet, can someone suggest a website where they may be purchased at reasonable prices?

Thanks

Hi Jack,
When TASTING any whisky (bourbon, blend, Scotch, Irish, rye, etc...) - in an attempt to detect flavour nuances, I ALWAYS use the same style of glass. It is a baseline for me.

DRINKING whisky for enjoyment is a different story. Use a Dixie cup if that's all you have.

I enjoyed the story about the Glencairn
single malt scotch glasses, but had a quick
question.
I really enjoy blended scotch, the JW Blue and
Gold and Usquaebach are the ones on my bar.
Would the Glencairn glasses be the right ones
for blended scotches or should I use a differant shaped glass for the blended?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Jack Reilly

Until recently, I always had my single malt neat in a rocks glass or water goblet. I didn’t think there was much difference the right glass could add but I purchased 4 of the Glencairn whiskey glasses from the Malt Advocate site anyway and when I had my first dram from one, I was pleasantly surprised at how different the experience was.

The Glencairn glass is least expensive in the US at the Evan Williams website, but comes with the EW logo.
