There are lots of cool whiskey glasses, especially in Amazon and in other e-commerce shops as well. Just have a look yourself. High end glass can be a regular Glencairn or the Cut Crystal version, or glasses with cool design or engraving. Just look at my article about different glasses to buy.
Well what about the high end Scotch glasses? Like stated before in this article, even though the price is low for a regular Glencairn whiskey glass, those are some high end Scotch glasses. Of course there are lots of high end glasses for aficionados and professionals out there. Sometimes you have to pay lots of bucks for getting them, but for a whiskey enthusiast like myself, money isn’t always barrier when buying something “useful” regarding whiskey.
Nosing glass is something designed for capturing the aromas of the water of life the best way possible. Usually nosing glasses are shaped as wide from the bottom, narrow at the top. Often the top of the Scotch glass for nosing opens up a bit. This gives away the aromas much better. You can find different shapes ofnosing glasses from the market. Glencairn is one of the most known Scotch glasses for nosing. Nosing glasses are used with other alcoholic drinks too but usually nosing glasses are used for Scotch, bourbon or other whiskies.
As a whiskey enthusiast it’s funny how other alcoholic beverages or spirits have their own glasses designed just for each drink in question. Well, not all but almost all – champagne, grappa or brandy for example. But single malt whiskey or bourbon and blends have been tasted in regular glasses or even in a coffee mug over the years. Which is actually pretty cool, whiskey is a drink to every class, to every occasion. So whiskey doesn’t have a custom glass designed for them. Or actually, nowadays it has but the invention is kinda new. It’s the Glencairn glass, which in my opinion, is the best Scotch whiskey glass. Of course other brands have designed something similar to Glencairn.
