Why do whiskey glasses have thick bottoms?

Why do whiskey glasses have thick bottoms?
Whiskey glasses have thick bottoms to prevent the drink from being warmed by the hands of the drinker. The idea is to keep the whiskey cold and keep the ice from melting too fast. You can shop a collection of whiskey glasses from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
