I have been enjoying single malt scotch since back in the '70's. For a long time the selection available here in the States was quite limited. My normal choice of glass was a brandy snifter. The recent explosion of available brands of single malt caused me to branch out and try a couple other varities with mixed results. After reading the descriptions of some varities online, I found I just wasn't sensitive enough to discover the aromas and tastes they were experiencing. I was just about to settle back with my old favorite, (Can I name brands here?), Glenfiddich, when I discovered the availability of specialized tasting glasses while searching online.

I never thought the shape of a glass could make so much difference! These specialized glasses have opened new doors, or should I say new bottles, to the single malt scotch world for me. Is it the curve of the rim? I don't know. I can't say that I am smelling and tasting all of what the 'experts' claim is there, but they do make a difference. If you have any interest in exploring single malt scotches these specialized glasses are a must have.

And I may be bordering on sacrilege, but I've tried a little rum in them and they seem to work for that spirit also.

I've been a disciple of single malt Scotches for over 15 years, well before it was trendy. I have owned these glasses for about 4 years. They are magnificent. No doubt, you will be TOTALLY aware of the varying qualities of a whiskey after you've sipped from this glass. BUT, beware in taking care of them. They chip really easily.

I bought these as a gift for my a friend of my husband. His favorite drink is single malt scotch (he usually drinks McCallum.) My husband and he often have a glass together at the end of the day and we thought the glasses would be better than the coffee mugs they sometimes use!

I wasn't sure why this glass was specific to whiskey or scotch. I did look for information about the Riedel types and shapes. According to the manufacturer, the company did research with the help of master distillers in Scotland. This resulted the design of a glass that is an elongated thistle shape on a truncated stem. The design incorporates a small, slightly out-turned lip which directs the spirit onto the tip of the tongue, where sweetness is perceived, and serves to emphasize the elegant creaminess of top quality single malt whiskey.

There are two lines of this glass, the Sommelier and the Vinum. The Riedel Sommeliers Series Single Malt Whiskey Glass is also available here at Amazon. The Sommelier items are more expensive as the upper part is blown into a mold and the the stem and base are hand-crafted.

The Vinum is machine made and more reasonably priced. The Vinum looks very lovely and is very nice and thin, there are no seams on the bowl, stem or base. (The Reidel name is etched on the bottom of the base.) It is made of over 24% lead crystal. The glass is 4 1/2 inches tall. There are 2 glasses per box, they are hand wash only. The box is sturdy and was in perfect condition when they arrived (I worried about this a little bit with such thin glasses.)

My husband feels the glasses indeed improve the taste of the scotch, but he isn't sure why.

I received these as a gift, absolutely unexpected. I am greatly pleased with the glasses. The long glass allows for aromatics to be released by the heat of one's hand and reach the nose in a sequence of small discoveries. The shaped lip does the same for the liquid as it crosses the lips and expands into the mouth.

These really do increase the pleasure of fine single malts.

You say these glasses are a waste because of the tongue becomming anesthetized. That is more a reason _for_ using a glass such as this, than against it. Not only because it directs the liquid to the proper areas of the tongue, but also because it controls the aroma, which is an essential part of experiencing a scotch. There are only 4 primary tastes, but 32 primary scents. Some people prefer a brandy snifter, but for me that holds too much of the aroma and overdelivers. These Vinum glasses work well for me, although I would probably enjoy an ever so slightly larger bowl.
As a side note, it you are drinking your whisky at a % of ABV that is anesthetizing your mouth, you don't understand how to properly taste. The majority of whiskies need a splash of water to open them up, how much water vaires form one to the next.

These are extremely well made but whisky seems to taste much better in the Glencarin glasses. I have 8 of the Riedel Vinum Single Malt Glasses and about 30 of the Glencarin whisky glasses. I have used these at about 10 different tastings and with the except of one person (and then only with one bourbon) every preferred the Glencarin glasses.

As an experiment, I had people put the same whisky from the same bottle in a Riedel Vinum Single Malt Glass and a Glencarin whisky glass. The difference was amazing: The Glencarin whisky glass seemed to make the whisky smoother and more flavorful.

At my tastings I will put both glasses out for people to use and they will wash and reuse their Glencarin whisky glasses before they will pick up a clean Riedel Vinum Single Malt Glasses. That speaks to the effect.

Just to be clear these are very well made and do improve the tastes of the whisky put in them, but the Glencarin whisky glasses do a much better job AND they are cheaper!

I still have 6 unopened Riedel Vinum Single Malt Glasses....not sure what I will do with them.

My recommendation, use these:
