Spec me a whiskey glass.

Want a new whiskey glass as my other just broke. It was basic so want a nice one this time. Only need one (sounds really sad) and don't wanna spend too much. £10-£15 is what I have been looking at.

Go.

I like these but they are a bit pricey.

They're not pricey, the postage is pricey. Also don't for god's sake pay a premium to have JD branded on your whisky glasses .

So did I get a good deal when I paid 1p for my old iPad keyboard but then £35for postage?

I'm not bothered about the name, just typed in JD glass to see what Divine Wind (above) meant and found them.

If it's for sampling then a Glencairn glass is what you want. However for general drinking I like my big Ardbeg glass - http://www.ardbeg.com/shop/product/homeware/large-tumbler-glass.html

That's kind of what I am looking at, but clear.

These are quite funky: Click here.

Though these are the similar to my usual ones: Click here.

Call me old fashioned but I don't see the need to spend a fortune on whisky glasses and both of the above are within your budget OP. I have spent considerably more than the above on a set of whisky glasses as a 60th birthday present for my father in law (fellow whisky connoisseur) and he keeps them in the case as they're "too good" to use

Yea I like the first one, when you said funky I knew which one it was

The second is same as my old one so want a change.

I don't see the point in spending a fortune. I'm thinking something like this but better quality as this has bad reviews - http://www.amazon.co.uk/GHI-The-Roc...&qid=1372362532&sr=8-5&keywords=whiskey+glass

I find a jar from Nutella quite good for whisky.

Of course you have to eat a jar of Nutella first... ¬_¬

(not my pic)

edit: oh just saw I mentoined that before (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=24531497&postcount=21) and I haven't even finished my first glass!

I went with the Nutella Jars

2 for £2 and lots of chocolate for the mrs to go bake crazy with.

Cheers for the idea.

(I may upgrade when I can be bothered)

I have a set of cut crystal and some thin walled 10 sided glasses, both are fine.

It's a glass dude, you could drink out of an old bean can and it's still gonna taste the same.

Go to any shop which sells glassware, any department store, cookware shop. Anywhere like that, they will have glassware, look and choose what you like. This is a matter of personal taste and not performance, spec me threads like this annoy the hell out of me.

As you said, I could drink out of a can and it will taste the same (well, probably not from a can) but I was looking for something that is aesthetically pleasing as I drink, I don't care about how it feels in my hand, etc.

I just wanted a good looking one for a good price that I can order on the net, I'm not going to go out looking for one especially. Too much effort.
