Is it okay to drink whiskey from a rocks glass?
Many of you have strong views on this, but I would never let not having the right glass stand between me and a nip of whisky. But, of course, certain glass shapes and how you take it will have an impact on your experience of the whisky, or whatever spirit you’re enjoying.
Let’s have a look at some of the options and why you might choose one over the other.

A true testament of whisk(e)y is being able to appreciate it while drinking it out of a shoe in Australia.

@BehindtheBar 3 года назад

Ha!

@dravendrinks 3 года назад

I generally do glencarins when I'm looking for smells and flavors, trying for the first time, or showing my friends something new. And just my favorite tumbler when I'm sipping and working on stuff

@BehindtheBar 3 года назад

I think this is the way to go about it!

@rikmcrae 3 года назад

I do exactly the same. A glencairn for checking out a new whisky. And my favourite crystal tumbler, cut in a Waterford pattern for drinking. I take quite a bit of water with it but no ice.

@keithgarcia8826 3 года назад

Cara, your channel is one of the best regarding alcoholic beverages. I’ve been following your channel since it’s start. It’s success is - besides your natural beauty - attributable to how you make your point succinctly and instruct in a non-condescending way. Similar content providers often talk down to the viewer and engage in never ending sophomoric humor. The best compliment that I can give is that you make me, a non-drinker, want to drink. Keep up the good work!

@BehindtheBar 3 года назад

I prefer a Glencairn. and that is usually what I serve it to my friends. Although a good rocks glass will make a good choice too.

@rish1459 3 года назад

"Drink out of what feels right for you!" Truer words have never been spoken! Mine is usually what is clean LUL. Actually, I prefer my whiskeys neat in a rocks glass. It allows me to savour the aromas without too stringent a smell.

@MarcAmAlb 3 года назад

I usually use a glencairn but, as you said, I’d never let the lack of the “proper” glass prevent me from having a dram.

@romannod5191 3 года назад

I find it quite important to try out several different glasses for tasting. We had blind tastings were the same whiskey was in different tasting glasses ( two different copitas, Glencairn and Túath) and we wouldn’t have guessed that it was the same spirit. Try and error for each bottle

@zinhobarros2592 3 года назад

Oh, Scottish accents! You could be reading out of the phone book, Cara, and this video would still be enjoyable. But Scottish accent + knowledgeable whiskey 🥃 instruction = fanatic content. Keep creating!

@BehindtheBar 3 года назад

@GregsWhiskyGuide 3 года назад

Nice one, Cara, and you've been summerizing the topic better than me (my video is way longer because I took the risk to explain my feelings about how the different glasses handle the whisky & restitute it, trying them along, so it is much more whisky fans oriented than yours but I found yours perfect for any type of audience & people who will have a bar experience as well, while me it is more "home" oriented consumption let's say), Cheers ! (I'll be happy if you watch it some day, I will be curious of your opinion). Btw, I am adding your video in my Cocktails Playlist but also in my whiskies playlist !

@trimbaker1893 3 года назад

HI Cara, I once lived with a lovely Scottish Woman Who I loved and was fascinated with. She quite cleverly discovered that the bottle was actually made of glass and would sometimes drink her whisky from that glass. I miss her and sometimes, she missed me, barely. : )

@tapeo1 3 года назад

Another good glass for drinking whisky neat is the Kentucky bourbon trail glass. It's somewhat similar to a Glencairn but has a wider mouth that doesn't require you to tip your head all the way back to get a sip. It does a good job of funneling the aroma to the nose but not as well as a Glencairn.

@SteveAbrahall 3 года назад

This may seem a bit weird I like a large wineglass (typically red wine) I can get the mouth and the nose right into it, maximun exposure - lots of vapour and and as it's a bit bigger, it dosen't burn the nose hair so much (although one always has to be carefull with cask strength!) Thanks as always wounderfull work!

@kevinruble6858 3 года назад

I've had whiskey in everything from plastic cup to glencairn, it's all good!

@thomasjaggers3576 3 года назад

I love your opening comment. As for myself, I have been seen drinking a wee dram from a coffee mug. Wine too come to think of it. Obviously the cleaner the mug is the better, unless you are drinking coffee, then a bit of patina is not so bad.

@little_billy 3 года назад

Great video!!! Love learning about the glasses, form and function, and when that match is made, pretty cool, then it becomes iconic, the glass becomes the drink, you are wonderful as usual, love spending these moments together, always enjoying, learning something and so appreciate what you do, thanks Ms Cara, still Awesome!!!

@KarlHeckman 3 года назад

Sissymary's. A dirty coffee cup wiped out with a shop rag is perfect if that's all you have! Any thing that holds whisky is just right. That said, I usually go with a glencairn or rocks glass. A glencairn makes slow sipping and savoring a bit nicer, but the rocks glass fits my hand well. Cheers!

@davidbroman8391 3 года назад

For casual consumption I prefer a glencairn glass for most whiskey and a rocks glass for strong peaty whiskey. If I’m tasting or treating my best friend to a special dram I really like the Norlan.

@DarrellChapman 3 года назад

I finally bought a glencairn and I can’t believe the change in aromas and tastes I get from the different whiskeys I have tried. After many years of not liking any Scotch I have ever had...I found one. It’s a start. I have found many different flavors and smells from all sorts of different Irish and Bourbons too. I have been a beer guy since I was first legal back in the early 90’s and after living in Belgium for a few years and sampling their beers I shouldn’t be surprised that the glass can shape the flavor.

Love my glencairns for when we wanna nerd out on whiskies... Plus they're quite durable as an added bonus And it's always a bit disappointing when you order an pour neat when you're at a restaurant/bar and it arrives in a rocks glass that barely covers the base and you can't smell anything 🤣

@BehindtheBar 3 года назад

@WhiskyCanuck 3 года назад

There's a Canadian Glencairn too (supposedly intended for Canadian whisky) which is nice to use, it's wide like the tumbler/rocks glass but still narrows slightly like the tulip bulb shaped classic Glencairn, sort of splitting the difference between those two types.

@AureliusTPK 3 года назад

I recently bought a pair of cut crystal glasses from Glencairn which they call “mixing tumblers” (part of the Skye range). Similar shape to a hurricane glass but without the stem. Of course, the rim is too narrow for giant ice cubes, but I have a mould for smaller spherical ice cubes (or ice spheres, if you prefer), and swirling the ice around the base of the glass like a pinball is enormous fun.

@BehindtheBar 3 года назад

Ooh that does sound fun!

@xdeedzx 3 года назад

@bendakstarkiller1270 3 года назад

The Glencairn is the only thing I use for neat whisky; tumbler for on the rocks variants.

@cdsprech 3 года назад

I had been shopping for some glencairns recently, until my fiancée gifted me a pair of Neat glasses. They're really quite nice and actually work as described with separating ethanol vapors from the spirit's aroma, but just like Cara said, the ergonomics are also important and the Neat glasses are a bit unwieldy.

@KNURKonesur 3 года назад

The Perfect Measure from Elixir Distillers x Glencairn has been my go-to glass for whisky tasting for a while now. Otherwise it all depends on the situation, as you said :D There's Glencairns, there are Perfect Dram ones, also the flat Speyside Dram... or just a tumbler if it's a gin and tonic or a whisky + ginger ale :D

@peterpatrician 3 года назад

I recently expanded my glassware collection and glencairns are finally a part of it. (My wife laughed at them. 😤🤷🏻‍♂️) It’s all about the experience. I got bored of drinking everything out of rocks glasses for years. At the very least, variety keeps things interesting. 🙂

@hristogavrilov 3 года назад

I use a tulip glass for tasting and glencairn for enjoying neat whisky. I know they're similar but the tulip won't survive the same amount of abuse. And of course, a tumbler for anything with ice or whisky cocktail of any kind.

Hi Cara; Idea for another video is what to sub for what. I am into trying new cocktails but am not purchasing weird ingredients for drinks that require 5ml of something. Im OK with something I know I like; I usually try new cocktails at a favorite local bar (where I trust the Bartender to do things properly). It gets very expensive buying boutique ingredients for the drinks you try and dislike.

How do whiskey stones work ? Dave Arnold says there is no chilling without dilution.

@EricHonaker 3 года назад

I have a set. They aren't much good for chilling, really. If you have a room temperature bottle of whiskey, the amount of chilling you get in the glass is barely noticeable. However, it would probably help delay warming for a spirit that you pre-chill.

@BehindtheBar 3 года назад

I think Dave Arnold only says that in relation to actual ice- you can obviously chill things using other substances e.g. gel ice packs etc, it just doesn’t tend to come up in bartending too much haha! But as Eric says they’re definitely not as efficient as ice.

Whisk(e)y stones are horrible, I tried them. They do not chill the beverage to the same, er, degree as ice. And being actual rocks, they can very easily chip and break the glass from the inside. Just want you want with your drink, a mouthful of glass shards.
