We recommend using an inexpensive Glencairn Glass at the least on this journey. It is the perfect glass for nosing your interesting whiskies but also its shape contours palm of your hand which allows natural heat of your body to warm the whisky in glass. We would recommend not putting ice in your whisky as it inhibits the natural flavours and smells. A whisky warmed by your body’s will be a lot more tolerable when you sip it neat. As you gain more experience you can graduate towards a more specialized glass like Denver and Liely Whisky Glass.
