Glencairn Whisky Copita Glass in Gift Carton

Very nice whisky glass BUT it is too expensive to my liking and....very fragile. In quick succession I broke 2 of them when washing by hand. I won't buy any more of those, because the traditional Glencairn glass is much better, I mean much more durable (very short leg). This one - too fragile, although good quality and I have to say much more convenient to hold when tasting good whisky.

This is a great nosing glass; I prefer this over the glencairn but the glencairn is more robust. I haven't broken one glencairn yet but I have somehow managed to break two of these copitas. They're so damn fragile. If you slightly tap the crystal, it will break. If it slips out your hand as you wash it and it nicks a plate in the sink, it will crack or chip. You must be extremely delicate with this. The crystal showcases the whiskey's/sherry's colour beautifully. It is almost like looking at an Amber prism; absolutely stunning.

The best way to sample whisky no doubt, but you should set up a monthly subscription as they are so flimsy they'll break in no time.

Bit overpriced but is really nice glass

I love having an assortment of whiskey glasses and if you do also this is one of my favorites. I highly recommend it and have started using it more than my standard Glencairn glasses, it’s elegant, beautiful and functional. A high quality whiskey tasting glass that is also very cool.

Qualitativ ist am Kristallglas nichts auszusetzen. Aus meiner Sicht ist es jedoch eher für das Nosing geeignet. Für's Tasting würde ich ein Glas mit etwas mehr Durchmesser und einer breiten Trinklippe empfehlen. Dies macht dann geschmacklich schon einen deutlichen Unterschied. Anmerkung zum Verkaufspreis: mehr als 20 €, geschweige denn 25 €, sind definitiv dreist!

Obra de arte! Sem muito a acrescentar, maravilhoso!

Excelente taça de degustação

I've tried several glasses for scotch, including the Pugeot Impitoyable, a blender's glass, and the regular Glencairn with a pedestal bottom that I generally end up reaching for. I bought the copita for tequila, but starting using it for scotch as it has the inexplicable quality of accentuating the liquid's color. It may have something to do with the shape having a lensing effect that isn't present on the tulip-shaped Glencairn. When I want to enjoy the liquid's color, the copita is the best for that. A blanco tequila will look almost silvery. The stem also makes it easier to hold and see what's in the glass, unlike the regular Glencairn where part of your hand is unavoidably blocking it. It's also small enough to concentrate the aroma. Highly recommended.
