Lives up its promise, but..
I purchased the 6oz. 'Canteen' model, to try out with straight liquor on ice. I am more a sipper than a gulper, and with normal glasses, the ice always melts before I finish, diluting my drink. Overall, I have been very pleased with these Bodum insulated glasses. My ice lasts much longer, my drink stays cold, etc.
That said, there are always tradeoffs. The glasses have a lightweight, almost plastic feel to them. They lack the substantial feel of thick-bottomed Old-Fashioned glasses. I suspect that perception is exaggerated by the appearance of the Bodum glasses. At casual glance, the airspace between the two layers tends to looklike it is thick bottomed also - which it is not. When you pick one up, your are always mildly surprised at how little they weigh.
Another aesthetic tradeoff of the double-wall construction is the thick, rounded rim. It is quite unlike the hard, crystalline thin walls of a good-quality drink glass. My wife found this particular feature...
All but perfect
Best possible bourbon glass for your first 3 drinks, after that you'll need to put it away or you could break it. It's glass is thin, but it's well worth the risk.
Bodum Double Wall Glasses
These glasses are the best glasses I have ever owned. I will never use another type of glass. They can be used for both hot and cold beverages, you can not feel either cold or hot on the outside of the glass, and they don't sweat so you don't need to use coasters.
