Buying The Right Whisky Glasses

Which glass do i use?

This is a question that many new whisky drinkers often ask.

Depending on how you like to drink your whisky, there are different types of whisky glasses to do so. Whether you like drinking it straight up or sipping your whiskey, using the right glass is important.

There are 4 basic types of whisky glasses. The tumbler, snifter, tulip and shot glass.

The tumbler, sometimes called the highball, is a glass with straight sizes and normally holds about 8-10 ounces. This one is usually used to drink whisky straight up or on the rocks (with ice).

The tulip glass is just that. Its shape is more like a tulip shape with a round botton, narrowing up to the top and sometimes fluting out a little at the top. These are used to savor the full aroma and taste of aged malts.

The snifter is somewhat like the tulip glass but is shorter and wider and the rim is not fluted. These whisky glasses are used more for sipping as in the tulip glass. The round bottom allows the aromas to come up and enhance the flavor when sipping.

The shot glass comes in different shapes but usually hold only about 1-2 ounces. These glasses are normally used with a cheaper brand of whisky and are used to consume your drink in one swallow. Sometimes you may want to use a shot glass if you are chasing your whiskey with a beer. Some also like to sip with a shot glass which is also o.k. .

No matter what kind of whisky glass you like to use, make it an enjoyable experience when sipping and savoring your whiskey.

Which one of these glasses do you prefer to use?I personally enjoy using a snifter. I feel it truly brings up the aroma as i drink my whiskey. Cheers!
