Glencairn Glasses

Feb 5

Posted by Brother Tao in Chapter Chatter

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have a source for Glencairn glasses. In doing a little research for the upcoming launch of KotQ Colorado, I found a local restaurant supply which has the Stolzle Glencairn glasses.

Upside: Only $5.50 each.

Downside: minimum 4 doz.

I was wondering if anyone was interested in upgrading their glassware and would like to go in on a case. I don’t at this point need 48 glasses. I’m also not sure if the Glencairn thing is just a fad or a legitimate new glass type, but I do know that I use my glasses from Whiskeyfest all the time. They seem to be better for tasting than rocks glasses, although I do still use my Waterford just for the mass in hand.

If interested please contact me via email.

Totally agree. I use mine all the time too. I really like the solid glass base. It feels great in my hand when I hold the glass. The tapered opening, designed for nosing, doesn’t take away from the palette in my opinion either. I don’t know if I need any more but if you need someone to finish off the order let me know.

Put me down for 12 because 8 is not enough.

Just as an update: Scott, my local store owner and soon-to-be brother 3rock if I can get the colorado chapter together, is carrying these in his store now. Not sure what retail will be, but I should be able to get any quantity soon.

I may be able to get a few more added to a bulk order of 48 from guys at work (if we are still doing a bulk order). Are we at the point where we should do a count to see proximity to 48?!?

Update: Per the email I just sent, I can have these shipped to Chicago in much smaller quantities. The best price break is only 18 glasses, with shipping a minimum of 6 glasses and the price optimized at a couple dozen. But all in all I can probably get these at $8 each to your door in quants of 6, or $6.50 if I ship 2 doz or more all to one address.
