It's a friends 30th birthday and as he likes whisky I thought I'd buy him a pair of whisky glasses (his other half has confirmed this should be a welcome gift).
However, I don't drink whisky, so have no idea what makes a good glass. Any advice/opinions from the drinkers here?

Quantity over quality. 🙂
Right, I'll just 'borrow' two of them from the pub tonight 🙂
You're probably thinking of a cut lead crystal tumbler, which would make a nice gift, but the reality is the £5 [url= http://www.glencairn.co.uk/whisky-glass/ ]Glencairn[/url] whisky glass is the right tool for the job.

Still, a nice gift if he doesn't already have one and will mark you out as a gentleman who knows his onions...and his whisky glasses.
What makes a good whisky glass?
Seems obvious but, good whisky.
Oh and Rusty is right on the glass front.
Concur with RS above - add a bottle if a couple of those is too cheap.
Cheers guys. Will get some of them then.
Are whisky stones just a gimmick or do people use them over ice cubes?
Now you're talking...get him a copy of [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/101-Whiskies-Try-Before-You/dp/0755360834/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1375866939&sr=1-1 ]101 Whiskys to try before You Die[/url] and as an added touch, make sure the whisky is one from the book!add a bottle if a couple of those is too cheap.

I've got one of them Glencairn classes branded Lagavulin that came in a gift box with a bottle, maybe you could get the same of his favorite tipple? Or get one etched with his name?
Cheers,

Do you plan on questioning his parentage as well? 😉
Cooling your whisky is a contentious issue!

Right, will leave the stones alone and follow Rusty's advice.
Cheers all.
