Foreshot Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Aside from Glencairn, what do you use for a nosing glass? I've use several different non-whiskey specific glasses (wine, old fashion, etc). I'm trying to build my nosing palate up and figure I could get something that would help. Thanks in advance.

Foreshot Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks Odin. I probably will order these: https://www.amazon.com/Bormioli-Rocco-Riserva-Grappa-Glasses/dp/B00376ZPFE It's set of 6. I need that as my wife like to point out, I break everything.

AC-DC Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'll have to dig up the source, but i recall reading that Hubert Germain-Robin specifically stayed away from tulip shaped glasses because they cheat by over concentrating the aromas and hiding potential flaws. I think his preference was for a straight sides distillers glass.. Damned memory.. now i have to go search!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreshot Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks ACDC & Odin. Ralfy's Glass review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq9ar_UAKIM I like the Ardbeg glass with the cover (Odin's Grappa glass), pint and cognac glasses. I want to be able to get the full array of aromas. The pint glass peaks my interest. It might be bad for drinking but nosing I think it has potential. Ardbeg glass, not bad at £5 each with cover: https://www.ardbeg.com/shop/product/glassware/ardbeg-tasting-glass.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natrat Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I love those Bormioli grappa glasses. I use them at work. For blending, i like the Copita style glasses they have at Crate & Barrel. I use them at home, too. And they are ok in top rack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urrazeb Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm a bit late to the party but you should check out the Vinoteque Spirits Snifter glasses. Snifter glass link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
