Don't lay glasses on their side. They designed the whole box but they designed it to lay the glasses on their side? That's how they crack. Seems kind of asinine to me. If someone's a real whiskey drinker or a beer drinker, they probably already have glasses anyway. So if you're going to buy them some, you have to go all out and get something premium, not just a set of 'ok' rocks glasses. The chances are also good that they already have a kitchen cabinet and will not need a box to store and schlep their glasses and booze. So if you're going to get them something to put a bottle of booze and some glasses in, go the tried and true route of the fake violin case, as that's actually portable and they might get real use out of it. I have also seen people convert ammunition cans, like the Fat 50, into something like this -- and those, too, are portable. Same thing with the stones, or a sphere ice mold or that. There's a lot of bobo ones out there now. Make sure you're getting good ones. Anyway if you have a whiskey drinker friend or family member that you thought of getting this for? You could always just go ahead and buy them a bottle of good whiskey. If they're a beer drinker, see if they have etched pint glasses (beer glasses with etching meant to release carbon dioxide from solution, to bubble up into the foamy head of the beer) because those make a difference in how the beer smells and tastes when you're drinking it. And you could always just go to the liquor store and pick 'em up something primo to put into it.

reswrightIt appears that if you are carrying the box properly, the glasses will actually be held right-side-up, not on their sides. They are only on their sides when you are loading the glasses into or extracting them from the box, not while the box is in its natural position. Of course, this is all assuming that the lid shuts and stays latched properly, and it doesn't appear that the lid has any sort of padding to secure the glasses or the whisky bottle in place. They advertise that you can transport your favorite whisk[e]y in the box, but I highly doubt any of my favorite whiskies/whiskeys would actually fit in the box. They don't bother listing the dimensions of the bottle compartment, but it doesn't look tall enough for any of my favorite scotches, nor wide enough for my favorite bourbon.
