[QUOTE="-R., post: 146016, member: 1547"] My [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glencairn_Whisky_Glass]Glencairn whisky glass[/url] came in the mail today, and after christening it with some Talisker 10 and Laphroaig 18, I'm ready to declare that I'm happy with the purchase. I was a little surprised at the daintiness of the glass, and it took a few tastes to get used to how much I had to toss my head back -- maybe I have a larger nose than average -- but the payoff is worth it. I've been using a cognac/balloon snifter for single malts, but I suspect that I'm going to make more use of the Glencairn. I won't suggest that the difference between the two glasses is astronomical, but I think the Glencairn does help concentrate the nose of the whisky a bit more at the time of drinking and that brought out a few subtleties in the Laphroaig that I hadn't noticed before. Now I just need to buy a new single malt to really break the glasses in. :) [/QUOTE]
