As you taste, you may need to top off to maintain the integrity of the experiment. I go through the cycling of glasses twice: Once for nosing and the second for tasting. I recommend single pour into one glass, and then transfer the contents into the next. By the time you get to the third or fourth, you’re not going to discover any differences. You’ll quickly understand the nuances of each one.īefore you get too far ahead of yourself, consider that with ten or so ounces, that’s a great way to get drunk. I invite you to partake in a little experiment with me and pour a dram into each type of glass. The real question, however, is, does the glass matter? The answer is a definite, “Yes.” Your choice in glassware is going to determine what experience you want.įor the sake of brevity, today’s discussion will be limited to five types of glassware: Shot, Rocks, Wine, Glencairn and NEAT. Some look “cool” to drink from because a character drank from it in a movie. Some are designed specifically for whiskey. You could select an Old Fashioned glass (also called a rocks glass), shot glass, wine glass, brandy snifter, Highball (also known as a water glass), Glencairn nosing glass, Canadian whiskey glass, NEAT glass or a variety of other glassware.
There are unlimited options for enjoying your Bourbon.
You could, in all actuality, just grab a glass from your cupboard and pour yourself a drink. Wait… what? Glassware? Why can’t I just use any old glass to enjoy my Bourbon? And, as if that isn’t confusing enough, there’s the matter of choosing the right glassware. There’s plenty of choices out there just in the field of Bourbon. If you’re an experienced whiskey drinker, you’re still probably searching out that perfect pour. If you are new to the world of whiskey, you may be wondering what the best whiskey for you to try is.
