Believe it or not, drinking from the right Whiskey glasses certainly does help enhance the pleasure of drinking Whiskey.
When we enjoy any type of drink, or for that matter food, we use all our senses: Sight, smell, taste and hearing.
Lovers of Whiskey want to enjoy all aspects of the drink, including its colour, its smell (or bouquet), and of course its complex flavours. The cut glass Highball tumbler, is often associated with Whiskey, and can be a beautiful piece of craftmanship in its own right, but is often disliked by the real Malt lovers. They see the bevels in the glass as illuminating and distorting the colour, but mainly the tumbler type Whiskey glasses don'tprovide the best shape for delivering the unique Whiskey aromas. Real connoisseurs prefer the brandy snifter, sherry copita, or something similar. The growing popularity of Malt Whiskey has led to the evolution of Whiskey glasses based on tulip like shape. Micheal Jackson's Malt Whiskey Companion talks about the author's development of what he believes, based on his huge tasting experience to be the best tasting glass on the market. He has designed what he calls the Whisky Connoisseur Glass, with spirit consultant Jurgen Deibel. The bowl of the Whiskey Glass has no decoration, so that the colour of the drink can be enjoyed to the full. The inward curve above the bowl holds in the aroma. Then the slight flare directs the bouquet to the nose. There is a lid to retain the aroma between tastes. Finally, Whiskey glasses, along with Decorative Water Jugs or indeed many collectors favorites the Whiskey decanter have developed huge followings and networks of collectors have developed the world over.
