I bought these for my husband the whiskey connoisseur for Christmas. He had been careless with his old single-malt glass and broken it over a year ago, and the O started stocking these beauties. The price is in line with what you can expect to pay for the Riedel varietal-type glasses. They arrived very well-padded (I opened the box to make sure they had survived, then gift wrapped them in the Riedel box). I love that it's a set of two, as these are fairly delicate by nature. Not an issue since you may as well use a rocks glass if durability is more important than enjoyment. They're very stable though - the old single-malt glass got broken by being held under the fridge ice dispenser to get a cube... wouldn't recommend doing that to these either, but you're unlikely to knock it over. Definitely a great gift for a scotch connoisseur; somewhat hard to find elsewhere at a reasonable price with free shipping. Very happy!
