Vinum Single Malt Whiskey glasses add a touch of style to whiskey drinking. Wine connoisseurs will especially appreciate the shape, which was carefully researched by Georg Riedel himself to establish the best design to accentuate the flavor of single malt whiskies. He incorporated the small, slightly outturned lip to direct the spirit onto the tip of the tongue, where sweetness is perceived and emphasize the elegant creaminess of top-quality, single malt whisky. It's also suitable for regular whiskey and so elegant, you may be tempted to us it as a serving piece for a light mousse or some fresh berries drizzled with cream.The Vinum line is functional, high quality 24-percent lead crystal stemware that belongs to the Riedel family of fine glassware. Introduced in 1986, the Vinum collection was first in a series of stemware in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varietals, meaning the content commands the shape.

Summary: Nice
Comment: Nice elegant little scotch glasses. I'd like something with a heavier more solid base myself, but these are OK for the price.

Summary: Makes a Big Difference
Comment: If you are a single-malt scotch drinker and you are not using a single-malt whisky glass to enjoy it with, you may as well be pouring it down the drain. It really makes that much of a difference. Sure, brandy glasses come close, but a good single-malt glass and just the right amount of water will completely change how and what you taste.
With scotch whisky prices going up and up, spending $40 to greatly enhance your enjoyment of your $70 scotch is a no brainer.

Summary: Makes a huge difference over regular glasses
Comment: If you enjoy a good scotch, this will only elevate your tastings. This really lets you take in all the nuances of your scotch, and it does what it says it does. A wonderful product to do scotch tastings.

Summary: Thank you, Riedel!
Comment: 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.
