What WHISKEY GLASS should YOU buy? 

What Whisky glasses do you have in your collection that you think really help your nosing and tasting?

Years ago i started with rocks glasses because i used to add ice. Then no ice. Then a few years ago RU-vid whiskey folks told me i needed Glencarins. I used them for a bit but went back to rocks glasses. Nosing isn't realy that big a deal to me. I mostly drink the same dozen whiskeys all the time and i know what they will smell and taste like. When i am drinking something new, i will break out the glencarin. Cheers.

I just sip out of Tumblers. I'm not a fancy man, I just want to enjoy my whiskey.

I drink neat. I mainly use a Courvoisier brandy sniffer type glass. I also have liquer glasses that are like mini Glencarens with a stem. I also have just straight Jack & Coke type glasses and a few actual Jack Daniels glasses I picked up at thrift stores, probably from holiday box sets.

I just got two of the glencairn delivered today! Cant wait to try them

Thanks for the video! I've considered a Norlan for a while, but the price tag always put me off for what didn't look like any added value, just aesthetics. I've used Glencairns exclusively for years for whisk(e)y. Then I went to someone's house and they gave me Laphroaig in a tumbler. I didn't need to smell it, I already know what Laphroaig smells like, it was nice just sitting around chatting and drinking it rather than analyzing it. I need to do that more often.

Use both a glencairn and tumblers/rocks glasses for most whiskey drinking. Use coupe glasses for drinks that are served “up”. Purely an aesthetic thing, but I don’t care for the look V shaped cocktail glasses. Also have some highballs, but usually use pint glasses for those cocktails, which also can be used for beer. Great group of vids!

Excellent choices. There are a lot of videos on glassware that recommend owning a ton of different glasses but I'm very much similar to your final setup. I keep a couple glencairn glasses on the shelf where I keep my sipping whiskeys, I've a decanter with a handful of rocks glasses on the coffee table, and a mix of highball, rocks, and coupe glasses in the cabinet that I use for cocktails. Plus everybody needs shot glasses.

I was searching about whiskey glasses..thank u now i got good idea about the glasses..

Excellent video with great information; thanks for making and posting it. I bought a set of (4) Glen Cairn glasses for nosing and tasting, and I have tumblers and a collection of shot glasses. I also have two tall glasses that came with a bottle of Couvoisier (spelling?) that a friend gave me. The Manhattan glass looks interesting; I might look into a couple of those next.

Glen Cairn I like this glass because I spill less when sipping 😂😂

Well I've got a couple of tumblers I use for water, juice, and soft drinks so I'm set there. Being new to scotch I will be heading out to find a set of Glencairn glasses. I've had Johnnie Walker and a bit of Suntory Japanese Whiskey (so smooth). This time I'm going for some single malt.

Copita glasses are nice, but not included in this overview.

You should try the Highland whisky glass. Same shape as a glencairn but slightly bigger and with a short stem. My personal favourite.

Nice vid. Check out the JoyJolt Halos. That's what I use and they are closest to the GlenCairns, I just like the non flared nose on it. Makes drinking a lot nicer for me, but either are amazing glasses

I resemble your remark about the Canadian glencairn having big nosings. Pun intended, however poor it seems. I cannot fault you the choices Bill. Excellent video as usual. Thanks

Every single person I know in India drinks whisky (no matter how expensive) from a tall glass with ice and Soda water. I think it's something the British left us with. What do you think?

You missed the Dartington whisky experience glass, it’s the best, very similar in shape to the Glen Carin and narrows even further. Looks great to.

Thank you for this. Just subscribed.

Getting into bourbon and this helped a lot.

Good informative video, Mr. Bill! My tumblers or rocks glasses are ones that came in gift sets. 🤗 My Glencairn's are both plain and branded. I'd have more branded ones if my wife wouldn't protest the price! 😁 My only purpose for shot glasses is collecting so they're ALL branded! LOL 😆 My definition of Whiskey season is an season ending in "n"!

Tried and true Glencairn, I have some cheaper stemmed nosing glasses that have a Glencairn-esque shape that work well, a little fragile though. Still on the search for some nicer stemmed glasses, will probably pick up a couple of the stemmed Glencairn Copita glasses as one choice. - Patrick

Yes, I use all the ones you recommend except for the Manhattan glass. In addition, I use an old fashioned shaped neat whiskey glass, and a slightly larger rocks glass. I enjoy sipping out of 2 ounce "shot" glasses the most though.

Just got 2 Glencarin glasses today....excellent =)

Interesting and enjoyed this 👍 Surprised you found the Norlan was not that good 🤔 Liked and now subscribed 👍

I'm really surprised you bought and reviewed all of these whiskey glasses and did not buy the Libbey Kentucky Bourbon Trail glasses. They're very popular amongst the Whiskey Tribe compared to the others.

The canadian glencairn is the only tumbler style glass that you can get a nose off of though. I do do think there is a market for it besides the style of it, more so then say the neat glass. Nice video, whiskey season starting up again :)

Love the STD shot glass, haha. Nice video Bill

Didn't watch yet. But I only have glencairns and they're the best imo.

I've got a tumbler glass it's from France And it's made of crystal and it has a grouse on it.

Good video. I am always interested in opinions about the different kinds of glassware. I was especialy happy to hear your opinion on the Tuath - I've been on the fence about this one for quite a while. Also I never heard about the "Tribeca", so that was something new. But there are two things, I want to add/comment on: 1) To me, no comparison of whisky glasses could be complete, without at least mentioning Copita- and Snifter-Glasses. Not only is the Snifter my personal favorite, but from my experience those two styles are the ones most often encountered at whiskybars and tastings after the Glencairn. So why did you leave them out? 2) I totaly didn't get your point about shot glasses. If I am into TASTING Whisky - what on earth do I need shot glasses for?

Have you seen Graduated Whisky Tasting glass? It's stemware with measuring lines drawn/etched into the side. Do you think that's helpful? I think you can find them on UrbanBar.

Why leave out a lowball? Especially for Old Fashions?

What's your thoughts about the copita glass?

You did a excellent job with this video however I was a bit disappointed that you didn't include the Wee Glencarin.

The glasses on the corner was giving me too much anxiety

Awsome video !

Have you considered doing Amazon affiliate links? I'm thinking about buying some of these, and it would be nice to support you in the process since you recommended them.

Good info🙏🙏🙏

Please don't hate me. Can I just drink out of the bottle?

so the glass on your thumbnail isn't even here. misleading!

i have the glencairn but find it a bit boring...almost feels like a glorified shot glass. prefer the canadian glencairn version. but most especially these two below (nicer to hold than glencairn with their stems and both have same 6.5 oz capacity). bowl on both is slightly wider too which is nice for nosing. from crate and barrel their 'sipping snifter' www.crateandbarrel.com/sipping-snifter/s312053 this one is my fav: comes in different brands: stolze, glendale etc.www.amazon.ca/Cuisivin-8903-Glendale-Whiskey-Nosing/dp/B0733VRB3M got mine locally in vancouver bc for cnd$ 9 from the gourmet warehouse gourmetwarehouse.ca/glendale-tasting-whisky-glass-6-5oz/

What about snifters?

The tumbler on the thumbnail is not in the review. Thhhhannks abridged incomplete whiskey dictionary channel

Get A glass pour whisky , whiskey,scotch etc and just enjoy it . there's no need to get so pretentious about the drinking glass . I own the majority of these type of glasses but I drink everything out of a MASON jar .
