Norlan | The Glass That Will Change Whisky

[@ryanwbailes]

Don't knock it until you try it. I received a set as a gift and it actually does a great job improving the aromatics. A lot of our taste comes from smell. I love my Norlan set.

[@Norlanglass]

Many thanks for your support!

[@maximefraisier1010]

Just bought a pair of Norlan Glass. As a Whiskey lover and having more than 15 glencaringlass, this whiteout any doubt the best Whisky Glass I've ever bought and really smell less alcohol and more flavour while standing your head ! Its amazing ! From Quebec Canada.

[@Norlanglass]

Now that's what we call a resounding endorsement. Cheers.

[@spiced32]

Thought I was on QVC there, a load of old codswallop. The hand cut crystal Glencairn glass is fine for me.

[@TobiasGorn]

Tonio O'Neill the marketing is indeed amazing. I bet it would be ground breaking in 2003

[@colelind9294]

Good for you. I don’t love using a glencairn glass though, so something like this is appealing to me.

[@pross6525]

I recently bought a set of Valid Norlan glasses i really enjoy this glass. So today I bought a set of the clear Norlan glasses.

[@Norlanglass]

Thanks for the continued support.

[@pross6525]

@@Norlanglass your welcome. Thank you for making the best whiskey snifter glass

[@thefauxarkadian5993]

Would be even cooler (no pun intended) if they used a ceramic layer on the inside triangle or behind the fins, so the glass could be stored in low temperatures and the ceramic would hold onto the cold, chilling the drink as it's poured without using ice. It also wouldn't dilute the drink

[@GlennRichardson]

See...somebody else that prefers a chilled whisky. Yet I get a response from this company like I'm some sort of frickin' idiot.

+Arkadian Thanks for your comment. We designed the Norlan glass to be used for neat, room temperature consumption of whisky, but we appreciate the idea.

+Norlan I have removed my comment from their reply.

Very well done!

A Tumbler with a Glencairn hollow in the center. Simple as that.

[@SAVAGE308SNIPER]

I would this compare with the Glencairn glass, which is used at 1:05 of this video. The Glencairn glass is remarkable, but I'm really anticipating the Norlan glass. Now, the Glencairn glass is more of a glass to APPRECIATE the whiskey. The Norlan glass seems like it is well made for appreciating but also good for socializing. Personally, I don't socialize much, but Norlan, I believe, has made a great product, though I don't own one yet but it's on pre-order.

[@AydinOdyakmaz]

It's a great glass and love mine. I use it for all types of whiskey. Beautiful design

[@poltimmer]

A great example on the lesson that video is nothing without audio.

[@LeClaw]

Other half got me a set for Vaild Christmas '18 and even she as someone who drinks whisky once a blue moon can tell the difference the Norlan makes. and they're a fantastic talking point with friends as well.

[@djrickygaz]

This glass looks like it was inspired from looking at the bottom of a 2liter bottle of soda

[@christopherbartel]

Absolutely fascinating. Can't wait to buy a set

[@terrellcook-tcsr]

Received my Norlan glasses about a week ago. Very nice packaging and beautiful glass (adding 2 - 3 oz of bourbon makes it even more beautiful). I really like the size, great volume and top diameter fits my nose just right for nosing. But as I first held the glass, my first thought was "Is this plastic?" - had to thump it with my finger to confirm that it is actually glass. The weight and balance of the glass seems off to me - it needs to be slightly heavier and the weight should be in the bottom. It is a nice conversation piece with my whiskey friends, but it is not my favorite glass (my favorite is a glass of approximately the same size, but with a single shell and more pronounced tulip shape). On the next version of the Norlan glass I would also suggest a slight change in the contour of the outer shell - it needs to be a bit more tulip-shaped so that the bottom lip fits better under the lip. The Norlan glass improves the nosing experience, but does not change the tasting experience.

[@廖洲新]

Perfect !

[@marcjames3487]

For a few years now I've been searching for the perfect Whisky Glass - now my personal Grail Quest is over :-) I've just pre ordered and can't wait ! P.S. can't wait for an ice cube version but as I only us one cube I think this will still work.

[@stevecolby1288]

I wish you would have a mix pack, one clear and one vaild. Instead I’m sat here debating with myself which would be nicer to have.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

"a scientifically performing inside" ... My GF asked me this morning from inside the bedroom. - What are you doing honey? - I am performing scientifically, I answered from the kitchen. - Could you be performing scientifically in the way that the coffee will soon be ready? She pressed - Well, the kettle is performing scientifically, but then again so were the coffee beans to begin with, just sitting there in their bag under the general onslaught of entropy ... - Never mind, she mumbled, apparently going back to sleep. I banged my toe on the doorstep going back, balancing two full cups of scientifically performing coffee and spilling it on my bare feet, leaving blisters on top of having my toe-nail kinetically cracked. I sighed deeply feeling the air circulate scientifically in my lungs so that I could continue living. All in all a pretty damn sciency morning.

I just got mine last week , I’m no expert but my Single Malt never smelt better . It truly makes a difference in aroma , no burning of the nose. Not cheap but a good spirit deserves a good glass . Cheers 🥃👍

Backed. Good luck guys, can't wait to experience a good Octomore in a whole new way!

[@JB-bw3iw]

[@radiumdude]

... “the glass that will change whisky”.. That’s probably the last thing I want a glass to do.

[@j.r.5803]

Whisky experience its what they should have said. Anyway they did spot the eye contact breaking point and tried to fix it, also for who has big hands it comes handy to prevent the body heating be transfered to the liquid due to the double glass thing. Not the most beautiful glass for me, but thats subjective and by far the lowest major point for whisky enthusiasts enjoy theire gold juice.

[@jesusmetal92107]

The folks saying that this is just a glass have no idea how smell affects flavor. Nor do they understand the ritual that goes into enjoying a fine spirit. Whiskey that is meant to be enjoyed should come with a fun, delightful way to experience it. I could throw back shots of Jefferson Groth or Michters 20 year but I would be losing all the complexity that is brought with it. Thats why I use a snifter, and would likely use this since it is a bit more casual and less pretentious looking for when i am having guests.

[@NicolasSaavedra27]

The most FirstWorldProblems video you will see this month

[@bridunsig1]

Just been emailed the video of the Norlan glass. I have a few 'tasting', 'nosing' glasses and my favourite whisky is Laphroaig followed by most other 'peaty' flavoured Malts. I thought quite a while and decided to order a 'pair' of the Norlan glasses. I hope I will realise the benefit of spending £33 GBP on them !!!

[@gordrand]

I received a pair for Christmas. I drink bourbon and scotch. These glasses greatly improve the experience.

[@seanconcannon186]

Why do we have to watch ads before we watch a video that essentially is an ad?

[@TobiasGorn]

I find it interesting that you say it is so important not to break eye contact. I’d hate to go to have a drink with a person who stares without a blink for the entire length of the meeting. Nice idea but it is a bit like the tesla truck.

[@ninavasil7652]

I have tried it. Glencairn is better, by far.

[@lavoltare6307]

Beautiful glasses yet are too fragile. Used ice once and it shattered inside the glass. Purchased the Black glasses for a friend and it has broken also using NO ice. They are beautiful and enhance the delicate flavour of the scotch yet the fragility is a major problem.

[@earlgreyt123]

Thank you for your honest review . I was concerned the glass looked very thin and wondered if they'd last long in my kitchen!😅

[@chrishurst34]

I’ve got mine and they are awesome

[@Norlanglass]

Cheers!

[@darraghkinahan9952]

I thought they where expensive because of the engineering but now after watching this video I realise that they have to charge so much because of all the reviews they bought 😅

A Turkish tea glass with a twist. Turkish tea glass costs $1:)

[@keithbeckett1349]

Im pretty convinced 99 percent of people would not be able to blindly identify any actual real difference or benefit from using this glass vs a normal glass. Im and sure any normal person wouldn't notice anything either other than maybe a placebo effect. Thats not to say, in theory what they describe may be true...to some extent atleast, I just cant see it having anywhere a big enough impact to actually make much difference to the overall experience. however...its still quite an interesting idea and a cool looking glass.

[@GlennRichardson]

I did not notice any ice in your video. How would an ice cube/ball change the aeration and the evaporation of the ethanol?

[@Polyfusia]

+Glenn Richardson If you're using ice, a nosing glass isn't for you.

[@mlibe22911]

+Polyfusia what a douche

[@Polyfusia]

mlibe22911 Why would you nose ice? Ice is for a tumbler.

[@Norlanglass]

+Glenn Richardson We do recognize that many drinkers enjoy drinking whisky with ice, but we developed the Norlan glass to be used for neat, room temperature consumption. We haven't yet run any tests on its performance with ice, as we would prefer developing a specific glass for that purpose.

[@GlennRichardson]

+Norlan Thank you.

[@fivemillionthreehundredeig5696]

Malt Fan how are you liking it for 5 months of owning? I am looking to getting into whiskies and am trying to find a few different types of glasses, I'm looking at this one it looks very nice. does it work well if I want to add ice if I choose to

[@Rozjebem]

In that case you don't really need this kind of glass to ruin the whisky with ice.

[@fivemillionthreehundredeig5696]

Rozjebem everyone has Thier own preferences, some people find it wrong to use steak sauce with steak, but some people like it. personally I like to enjoy my drink both with and without ice at times. I prefer without ice but you know, sometimes it's a nice change

[@Rozjebem]

Of course everyone prefers something else. However, I was pointing out you don't want to put ice into nosing glass like this one.

[@Dandan-xq1oc]

JMandy - Putting ice in whiskey kills the smell, therefore a nosing glass is not needed.

[@keithbeckett1349]

I have a question about something I am kind of failing to understand...im not sure if its a gimmick or what but what exactly is the 'outer glass' thing actually doing ? is it just me or would it just have no impact at all on how the whiskey leaves/pours from the glass? other than visuals for the most part? surely the shape of the inner glass (the only thing that is actually having an effect on the whiskey) is what determines how you drink it...or how far you have to lean back or whatever the video was suggesting. And that's it...what does the outer-shape change....it doesn't impact the whiskey or the glass inside or make it any easier to drink because the shape of the inner glass is that shape no matter what Other than maybe giving a wider...more hand filling size to the glass in your hand...while keeping a more narrow neck for the whiskey glass inside, but that doesn't change anything about what they was saying about eye contact etc. So im confused.

[@Norlanglass]

Hi Keith, The outer wall of the glass is purely an aesthetic design choice. We wanted a highly functional inside, married with a modern beautiful outside.

[@cirusfastlegs]

@@Norlanglass is it not to also keep the heat of your hand from heating up the whisky?

[@Norlanglass]

@@cirusfastlegs Warming is actually something many whisky drinkers enjoy, believing it helps release the aromas. Our internal glass was designed to reduce the presence of ethanol and increase the aromas, meaning warming is not necessary. And for those who do not like their hands warming the spirit, our design will prevent that as well.

[@cirusfastlegs]

@@Norlanglass well as someone who is in the later category you just mentioned, I'm very much looking forward to getting the set I ordered soon! Slainte!! 🥃

[@Nicksonian]

I wouldn’t buy one simply because their ads are so ridiculously pretentious.

[@keithpetersen560]

I will stick with the classic Glencairn glass or Sipping Snifter glass. This Norlan glass is nothing but a poor knock off of a Glencairn surrounded by another glass. The outside of this Norlan glass is nothing but cosmetic, it has nothing to do with the inside glass. I would not buy this glass nor would I use it if given to me.

[@aarondesch]

Look again. These glasses have four bumps inside the internal glass, while they seem like a trivial difference, they serve a purpose. when you swirl a dram in the glass the bumps work as an agitator and aerates the whiskey. as a result your whisky is now noses and tastes as if you had let it breathe in a Glencairn for 10-15 minuets. after that, yes the overall shape of the glass does resemble the Glencairn because that's how any nosing glass should be shaped.

[@keithpetersen560]

Aarondesch, I did notice the 4 bumps inside the glass. As they may agitate the whisky more, the Glencairn has served its purpose for many years. The lip of the glass looks to thick and I personally don't like the shape of the outside glass.

[@URN-A55]

aarondesch you said it right, this glass is a copy version of the glencairn glass as it should be. It’s a knock off of the glencairn glass, so why should I pay good money to buy it when I already own the real glencairn glass.

[@EthanAlexander91]

Why are people so big on sniffing a beverage anyway

[@Norlanglass]

Smell is intrinsically connected to taste. The more you can capture and deliver the myriad of aroma compounds in whisky, the better your tasting experience will be.

[@chanman201]

Too expensive.

[@dericbytes]

Light, feels and looks like a plastic glass for the hot tub, collects finger prints, lip is thick which I do not like. Feels cheap. Very disappointed.
