Edinburgh or Waterford crystal

Budget?

My daughter bought me some Lunar Oceans (I’d never heard of them either (), they’re not as nice as my Dartington (I think) ones but they pretty good.

my favourite are Dartington Double Od Fashioned glasses. Nice and heavy.

Will check out the above thanks. I had looked at the Glencairn glasses which look like they are "the ones" for connoisseurs.

Cant say I have thought about budget.

These are quite cool and a bit different. I ended up smashing one by accident at a friend's house so ended up buying him a new pair. https://www.wineware.co.uk/norlan-whisky-glass-set...

Glencairn are perfect for tasting whisky. They are how ever quite narrow and difficult to drink from especially if you want ice in your glass. They are cheap too.

Thanks everyone. I decided on the Dartington double dimple.

Whilst we are here. Any recommendations for a nice bottle of whisky. I was going to get a bottle of highland park 12. Anything similar price wise that would go down well?

Thanks for you advice so far.

Scapa skiren.

Its a nicer tasting Orcadian whisky than Highland park imo. The extra £10 us worth the money

Absolutely wonderful to hold and drink from, as one would hope at the price.

Thanks... I like the sound of the Scapa

[RizzoTheRat]

I've got rather in to Nikka From the Barrel recently if you fancy something a bit different, not at all smoky though if that's what you prefer.

[thebraketester]

I chose the Scapa Skiren for him. Fingers crossed he likes it.

Thanks again.

I always thought the glasses from Blade Runner were quite cool

Love them. Not sure I trust myself with a £100 glass though.

I have these



RIEDEL VINUM SINGLE MALT WHISKY

I am willing to accept they look a little silly. I also use the ones that came free with a bottle of something or other.

I’ve got a set of 4 Dartington Crystal ones. I dropped one once and it dented my engineered wood kitchen floor. Quality glassware.
