Review on Glencairn Crystal Whiskey Glass Pack by Mark Marcellus

These are nasal glasses, they are designed to drink small (1.5 oz or less) amounts of alcohol in its pure form, not a double on the rocks. The shape of the glass affects what you get from any given drink. Wine is served in wine glasses to better preserve flavors and enhance the drinking experience, just like a Glencairn glass does the same for whiskey. The shape allows the alcohol vapor to escape and lets the nose of the whiskey through without having to struggle with the taste of the alcohol. If you're serious about your whiskey and really want to delve into the nuances of certain brands, these glasses are an absolute must.
