Glencairn Copita Glass

This is a great nosing glass; I prefer this over the glencairn but the glencairn is more robust. I haven't broken one glencairn yet but I have somehow managed to break two of these copitas.They're so damn fragile. If you slightly tap the crystal, it will break. If it slips out your hand as you wash it and it nicks a plate in the sink, it will crack or chip. You must be extremely delicate with this.The crystal showcases the whiskey's/sherry's colour beautifully. It is almost like looking at an Amber prism; absolutely stunning.

The best way to sample whisky no doubt, but you should set up a monthly subscription as they are so flimsy they'll break in no time.

Very nice whisky glass BUT it is too expensive to my liking and....very fragile. In quick succession I broke 2 of them when washing by hand. I won't buy any more of those, because the traditional Glencairn glass is much better, I mean much more durable (very short leg). This one - too fragile, although good quality and I have to say much more convenient to hold when tasting good whisky.

Bit overpriced but is really nice glass
