Holy **** wtf. Why does it cost so much? What's special about it other than it being a whisky glass?
"Whisky" is the key word there. Its like adding wedding, it doubles the price.

I see whisky glasses on Amazon for a tenner.
Glad to hear it buddy. Make sure you turn that Corsair fan round so the sticker matches the one below....Yeah, previous owners tubing was not the best to look at but was functional. I plan to retube it with hardwall but for now I am going to enjoy it for a while
A singular glass is £25 (think I need to edit link as that price is for 2 glasses) - yep, comparatively expensive, but it's a nice gift to receive for something you enjoy. Not sure what the drama is?Holy **** wtf. Why does it cost so much? What's special about it other than it being a whisky glass?

Lovely spec but that tubing..... Its all over the place and frankly looks like a mess.
All that money and it looks pretty ugly.
Apart from that, what an awesome build!
It's a proper whiskey glass for me as i enjoy drinking out of it. That's the point - and was a lovely gift from my kids. Plus, i was posting a link for a guy who wanted a weighted glass - and this glass has great weight.It's not even a proper whisky glass though is it?
I have 2 glencairn glasses and they are a completely different shape and style.

I have other glasses (cut glass type traditional etc) - but prefer a plain weighted glass to drink out of - which is what matters ultimately, personal taste.
Never imagined a post about a simple glass to help someone would garner so much debate.
You damn lazy copy & paster!
Hard tubing wasn't worth it when I built it as I was only doing it for me
I would imagine it's an acquired tasteMy heavy garden centre glass was £4
Anyway, just tried the Nikka from the barrel - got to say I’m rather disappointed. Was far too harsh neat so added some water and it was just rather bland and unforgettable.
Deffo my least favourite of the 3. Kind of worried for the other Japanese whiskies I bought now! :/
If it's comfy in the hand and enjoyable to drink out of - price is irrelevant.My heavy garden centre glass was £4
Yeah, i didn't mention this last night as i didn't want to bring a downer to your evening - but i've not drank a Japanese whiskey that i like as much as Scottisch MaltsAnyway, just tried the Nikka from the barrel - got to say I’m rather disappointed.

Why type it out again when you did such a good job in the first place And there was me thinking you had built it just for me But I know what you mean, hard tubing is a pain in the ****. Took me a week to do my last build with it.
PS Your signature is out of date

Yeah perhaps it’s just my palette or whatever, but kind of bummed after such staggering good reviews online. I mean, it’s better than the bottom of the barrel Bells etc and a little better than the super disappointing Jura Courage... but ultimately it’s uninteresting. Huh.If it's comfy in the hand and enjoyable to drink out of - price is irrelevant.

But you may get lucky/different pallet - you've got a few to try...
bought the triffid on the left that looks like a bare trunk for £80 ,will look better when the leaves grow !
sort of a gateway to the next section of garden
from a distance
I know what you mean - i struggled with the harsh almost dry after taste of the Japanese Malts, that I've had bought for me in the past.I mean, it’s better than the bottom of the barrel Bells etc and a little better than the super disappointing Jura Courage... but ultimately it’s uninteresting.

Interesting, I’ll take that advice, thanks. Makes sense.I know what you mean - i struggled with the harsh almost dry after taste of the Japanese Malts, that I've had bought for me in the past.
What i will say - is that it's best to stick to the one bottle, to let your palette become accustomed - it may learn to appreciate the taste. Because as soon as you mix in another Malt - that your palette is expecting/accustomed - you will have to start all over again.
