I only started drinking bourbon over a year and a half ago. During these months I have only used standard glasses from Target. As I delved deeper into the art of whiskey drinking, I discovered that one of the most important factors in tasting is the glass in which it is served. I have seen many videos and pictures of this glass being used by whiskey enthusiasts. I was skeptical at first because I didn't think a jar would change the situation that much. But I decided to give it a try just to see. And I'll tell you what, from now on I'll ALWAYS drink whiskey from a glass of Glencairn. I was amazed at how much it affected my taste experience. Raising the glass to my nose, I discovered a fuller flavor in my bourbon than before. I could smell the combination of vanilla, cinnamon and oak! Then I tipped my glass to taste the bourbon. The flow of bourbon from the glass to my lips was very smooth. The curvature of the glass allowed me to continue to taste the full flavor as the bourbon hits my lips. My first reaction was "WOW". This glass reveals all the richness of bourbon. It really enhanced my whiskey experience with the combination of smell and taste. Have you ever tried to hold your nose while eating something delicious? Well it's the same concept but the opposite. The funnel from the glass brings the aroma to your nose as you taste the whisky. With that in mind, the taste can be overwhelming for some. When this happens to me I usually fix it by adding some water. Overall I am very happy with this product as it has transformed my whiskey tasting experience. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested. It will take your taste experience to the next level.
