What Glass Do You Use?

Unread postby Bob Barker » Sun Apr 21, 2013 7:42 pm

I have tried many glasses when it comes to sipping bourbon, but I find the best to be the Glencairn glass. That's just my opinion. What glass do you use to sip your bourbon?

A Glencairn is nice, but a bit too dainty for my liking. I often just use a standard brandy snifter.

Good point Boston I really think a snifter comes in as a close second for me due to it relative ease of use I just don't find I get as much in the nose when using a snifter.

My only problem with the copita is that as it gets low in the liquid gold it feels like I have to tip it upside down to try to get the last little bit out. Also as a disclaimer the first time I used one of these I basically dumped a small remaining amount on my face as I titled back in an effort to drink the final contents :). I have had positive experiences since and the nose is a very close second to the Glencairn IMO

A straight walled rocks glass here. I do want to get a Glencairn though. I feel I'm missing out on the nosing part of enjoying a fine bourbon.

Cheers,

Really, I've been looking at the reviews on this site for years too. Just never joined. No good reason why, just never did! Anyway, thanks for the welcome.
