Exactly what I’m looking for. Shame they’re out of stock.

These look alright but not as ideal. https://a.co/d/bpTF45q

These look pretty similar, but at a little higher price.

These are great! Thanks for looking around! I’ll try and remember to pop a review down after I give ‘em a few tries

Following up on the glasses discussion. I have a bunch of glencairns but I periodically will sit around with friends trying a whole bunch of things and I’d like something smaller where 1/2 oz doesn’t look so silly. Any recommendations for a good whiskey tasting glass?

They make a wee glenncairn that holds 2.5 oz

Duty free on a budget! I passed on the Blantons at $150. Cheers!

$150 for blantons wtaf

Nice price on the rare breed

Honestly I find the small disposable plastic wine cups perfect for tasting nights - they're cheap, clear so you can see the color, and the shape allows you to swirl and nose very well. And it beats washing 50 glasses lol.

Sipping nice whiskey out of a plastic cup is a sin. Yup, I said it - a SIN!

FWIW I have a professional whisky tasting operation that I do and half ounce is the usual pour and we always use regular Glencairns and nobody thinks it looks odd. For my money there is no better tasting glass. Hell I drink everything neat out of it (rum, brandy, eau di vie, cordial, etc)

As someone mentioned above, they do make a smaller version of the same glass if it really bugs you.

I have these, and I like them a lot. Unfortunately, looks like they are currently out of stock. I paid $19 for a dozen of them.

Bought a ton myself, they’re excellent for tastings.

Finally found some Lost Monarch CS locally

The last barrel strength Barrel SB rye I had was one of the best ryes I've ever had, I'm hoping this one comes close.

 

[Klobberer]

Do you have these? Do you like them? They seem a bit larger than I’m imagining.

Too small for me. I prefer a meatier glass like the Viski...

 

[Irish]

Despite all the open bottles, I couldn't wait until fryeday...

 

[warma]

Any ideas on this?

 

[Saoliver]

First crack of any Lucky Seven. This is great. The wife loves it too, which is always a plus.

 

[FDLmold]

The finishing method on that Summerstock seems gimmicky to me. I have to say, though, it is an improvement on the bath in diesel fumes and exhaust that Roadstock went through.

I have it, and the toasted. Should I open them all tonight?

Was that a rhetorical question?

It’s OK, I stumbled on this stash.

Buy them all. Seriously.

Buy them all. Seriously.

Was thinking about it, but, I just don’t drink that much anymore.

I don’t either, I collect.

But seriously, it’s an amazing batch.

Oof yeah, Barell consistently churns out great ryes. The nose is subtle and not overpowering but incredible and makes you want to stick your nose all the way to the bottom of the glass. Very well balanced between the sweet port cherry and grapey undertones and the spicy rye, almost no indication of the barrel strength. Very oily and viscious with just a hint of chewyness to the mouth. Palate is similar to the nose, not overpowering at all but still incredibly balanced, you get both the port tannins and rye up front on the tongue, but then it quickly mellows and warms as it sits. The bitterness of the rye counteracts the sweet fruit notes. Some vanilla and dark chocolate notes in the background. The rye prevails as it dries and finishes, which lingers forever. Not a total flavor bomb but absolutely incredible, and it gets better as it sits in the glass. Even at $100 a bottle, I'm going back for another.

Thought I’d try it first. Looks like they aren’t going anywhere.

Popped this cork on the lake this weekend. I get the hype...really fantastic juice. Had to have another here at home.

Since starting this journey relatively recently, I’ve been in much more of an acquiring phase than a consuming phase as of late. Nothing spectacular…just trying to find and procure some of the common $60-80 level greatest hits of the thread.

Here’s my issue! And I admit it is indeed a first world problem!!

As I’ve done so, I realize I want to start sharing some acquisitions and nightly pour picks but what I currently drink out of is an utter embarrassment! Let’s call it an oversized shot glass. But the glassware I’d like to buy would make my wife puke (2 glasses for ~$100 shipped).

If you’re still reading, this is where you come in.

Help me get to my ~$40-50 glasses! Just like I’ve convinced my wife on Paulson Leaded Chips…help me convince her on a pair of nice bourbon glasses. Serious ideas or crazy - all are allowed. But if you actually are the reason she decides to say yes I’ll send ya something random in appreciation!!

GO!!

I really like this style and doesn’t tip easily. I’m sure there are cheaper option. Hope this helps
