Re: Whiskey
We use them. I feel like it makes a difference for some (particularly the peaty Scotches), but not as much for others. My favorite glass is a Rainier from Whiskey Peaks, but that’s just because we live in Washington state (we can see Mt Rainier from Mt Grant here on the island or from the west side of the island).sweetandsour wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 11:55 amIt's one of those simple, but finer things in life, that if able to do so, then by all means do.

Re: Whiskey
I've got Glencairns, snifters (my second fav), and several other kinds of bar glasses and my favorite thing to sip whiskey from is a retired mustard jar. It's smallish, like a juice glass, and has a wide enough opening that you get a good whiff to enhance the sip. It's also textured and has an optional finger hole for a secure, low pressure grip for when you've had one snort too many. I know some of y'all are fancy, but the redneckish appearance doesn't bother me at all.
I know I'm not often serious about stuff, but hear me well: this makes an excellent whiskey glass (provided you clean the mustard out, first).

Re: Whiskey
One of my favorites although Bourbon is new to me so what do I know. Looking forward to April when I can drink again.

Sipping on some Glenlivet. I bought a bottle for a friend of mine. He told me today that it was the best scotch he had ever drank.

I have one of those mustard glasses. It has mint cuttings in it that I’m trying to sprout in case my outside plant freezes. I muddle the mint with sugar and bourbon to make a lazy julep.

Re: Whiskey
I recently acquired a few bottles from a nice acquaintance. Seller Full Proof, Elijah Craig Toasted Barrell, Eagle Rare, and Willett Rye. I’ve tapped into the Weller and Eagle Rare, and they have not disappointed!
