Anyone who is serious about whisky knows these glasses are among the best ways to enjoy it. Dan is letting his My Dan’s friends pick up two at a great price. One for you and one for the person you’re trying to introduce to drinking whisky properly.

Limited stock on the shelf at the Launceston, Tas, store, but the staff tell me there’s more out the back.

Edit: I forgot to mention that My Dan’s membership is free. Staff are happy to sign you up in-store or it can be done online.

Edit 2: It's been reported as out of stock, but check your local Dan's anyway as most stores have plenty on hand, even if the shelf out the front is bare. The 'out of stock' may be online only.

This is part of Father's Day deals for 2020.

    … and I drink whiskey from my coffee mug.

    • Mr Frodo on 08/08/2020 - 11:05

      same, except I don't even know if mine's a 'coffee mug'. It's a mug.

      • INFIDEL on 08/08/2020 - 11:22

        It's a coffee mug because I added my blended whiskey to the coffee in it ☕

      Neat for the first few shots then get little wobbly and messy.

      Looks like would be good for cognacs too. Shall visit my local store to get a pair

      Ozbargained, thanks OP.

      • PlasticSpaceman on 08/08/2020 - 11:49

        Yep, works just fine for cognac

        • Nomoneynotalk on 08/08/2020 - 13:51

          Just picked it up, they have plenty of stock at Sunnybank DM. Cute little glass, same structure but little smaller than my cognac glass.

    • pacificstorm on 08/08/2020 - 10:34

      So no to cola mixed? How big is the glass anyway?

      • INFIDEL on 08/08/2020 - 10:43
        +1

        175 ml, intended to hold only 50 ml - to appreciate the whiskey

        It's a snifter style glass, specially designed for tasting.
        A standard glass used in competitions, so the shape of the glass doesn't affect the qualities of the whiskey. That way different whiskeys can be compared.

    Not trying to diss this deal, but to say these glasses are among the best ways to enjoy whisky is just a marketing ploy. I'd stand corrected if anyone can point me to some scientific evidence.

    • INFIDEL on 08/08/2020 - 11:04
      +1

      Just do a search.
      These are the standard glass used in competitions. Shape of the glass is accepted as influencing the characteristics of whiskeys. So using a standard glass helps eliminate most other factors when used for competition tasting.

      Now that can be different to enjoying whiskey, which is a very personal experience & depend on the whiskey.

      Reviews indicate people do think it improves their experience. (14 reviews on Dans - all 5 star) Those are not scientific, just subjective. Very popular in past Deals.

      • [Deactivated] on 08/08/2020 - 11:10

        I accept that the shape of glasses may play a part in how your whisky might taste, but is there any consensus that this is the best shape?

        • INFIDEL on 08/08/2020 - 11:13

          Again - lots about this online.

          The small amount of alcohol (50ml) in a larger (175ml) snifter style glass (short, wide bowl for appreciation of the whisky’s colour & to view the leg, narrow top to put your nose into - captures the aromas) - as in photo, makes this the award winning standard in whiskey glasses.

          You'll find lots of references to it helping the whiskey breath, & appreciate the nose, finish, etc with this style of glass.

          Promoted as the Glass for whisky, developed by the whisky industry for the whisky industry. It's the shape that was used in labs by the whisky industry. But that's for testing, not appreciation.

          I don't drink enough really good & different whiskeys to justify the rare use of this glass. I use a small snifter style glass I had. Tempted at this price.

            @INFIDEL: In general whiskey is a leisure drink too. You drink it because it's fun. Some nice crystal will only improve the experience. The shape of the glass may marginally improve the taste but I already have a few of these glasses and my untrained tongue doesn't notice the difference. The whiskey does look nicer in a proper glass and it does elevate the whole experience. It's kinda like drinking coca cola out of a coca cola glass? Not an objectively better experience but some might find a little satisfaction in that

            • INFIDEL on 08/08/2020 - 22:41

              @Arty.R: The question was about if the experience is changed by the shape of this glass.

              It's all very subjective.
              Many things can influence the experience, like drinking in a great setting, in good company, or from a good glass. I mainly drink good whiskey on my overseas travels. Makes it more memorable (& cheaper).

              Have a few suitable but cheap snifter glasses from local whiskey tasting events, so use those. Good enough for the cheaper drops.

              After reading your comment, I should search the house. I have boxes of good crystal up to 100 years old, inherited from family. It's never been unpacked…

              • Borg on 08/08/2020 - 23:08

                @INFIDEL: I think its more about if you don't have any type of Whisky glass and only a bog standard e.g. water 375ml tumblers. Its kind of nice to have a glass to enjoy.

                Crystal (in my opinion only) absolutely makes a difference to drinks whether it be Wine, Orange Juice or Whisky/Whiskey (if Irish).
                Try swirl a nice whisky around certain glass for a good ole sniff and its hard to do in certain glass types OR even sloshes outside the glass. For $7.50 per glass or $10.99 a pop, its nice to have a decent Whisky glass. Not a big Whisky drinker but when I do I like to sniff, swirl, quaff and try understand WTF it is I am about to gulp down :-)

                In my case, I actually like a "Baileys" wide style glass for drinking Whisky. Allows my nose to get into the glass when drinking it BUT will give this a bash.

    • Chazzozz on 08/08/2020 - 11:14

      Your comment also illustrates why I didn’t say it’s THE best way to enjoy whisky. It’s a subjective experience so everyone is different. It’s not for me to tell you how you should be enjoying it. :)

      How do you like Slane? It’s one Irish whiskey that I really like, along with Tullamore DEW.

      • MarkWAau on 09/08/2020 - 16:22

        Love Slane. It ticks my boxes in terms of taste and smoothness. Have you ventured towards Writer's Tears?

        • Chazzozz on 12/08/2020 - 21:10
          +1

          Soz, only just saw this comment. I haven't tried Writer's Tears, but I've heard a lot about it. I did try Redbreast expecting to be bowled over by it…and came away mildly disappointed. It just didn't suit me. It's too bad Powers isn't widely available here, it's made in the same distillery as Jameson but it's about 5 x smoother IMO. It's also hella cheap in Ireland, too. :)

          • MarkWAau on 13/08/2020 - 13:20

            @Chazzozz: Can confirm that Redbreast has a stronger peaty/tobacco taste that leaves a heavy sour end taste. Have a bottle on the go but it's still sitting there which says a lot. Powers is a great drop - always looking for a bottle on special. If you like Powers, then Writer's Tears will impress.

            • Borg on 13/08/2020 - 19:54

              @MarkWAau: The Red Breast in my cupboard definitely does not leave "a heavy sour end taste".
              I'd would have said the opposite and just taste tested it (in the name of science of course) to confirm my suspicions…funny how Whiskeys taste different to different people :-)

    Just picked up a pair, on the box says Crystal Glass, although no where else does it specify the type of Crystal… Most "Crystal" glass I've seen before state Lead Free on the packaging but these don't.

    Anyone about to confirm it is in fact lead free?

    • [Deactivated] on 09/08/2020 - 14:47

      Does the crystal contain lead?
      Unless stated in the product description, our glassware is lead free. (my emphasis)

      Any decanters which do contain lead are all treated to prevent any effects of lead into the liquid and complies with all international safety limits and standards.

    Any of you who are looking to buy 6 of these glasses, you can pick them up just for few dollars more from this small business in Melbourne CBD when they are open on Wednesday and Friday. Delivery is not worth it though.
