But the ritual makes it more fun! Just like having the "right" glass for a nice beer can enhance the overall experience of a good drink, having a whiskey in a glass that works well for you can make a good glass of whiskey great.
Personally, I'd recommend (when buying it out at a bar, pub, or restaurant) to ask for it "neat", rather than "straight" - you often get a nicer glass that way.
- wyclif 16y agoI appreciate this advice but disagree with him about presentation because the whole point of a whisky glass is that it is not a large rocks glass but falls between that and a shot glass in size. It's meant for tasting. He says you should swirl the whisky around in the stem glass but that's to expose it to the air. A good whisky glass does that without much swirling. The stemmed glasses are just too effete for me, I prefer this option: the shape of the glass is similar to what he recommends but the design is much less "fancy" and more appealing: http://www.amazon.com/The-Glencairn-Scotch-Whisky-Glass/dp/B001AW9GYS http://www.amazon.com/The-Glencairn-Scotch-Whisky-Glass/dp/B...
