Flyfish Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Meruck, I see you use the family-size Glencairn. How does that effect the nose compared to the regular Glencairn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tico Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 That's not a Glencairn I believe that glass is called a tot Whisky Advocate sells them although maybe not so big.looks like a glencairn canadian whisky glass to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meruck Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) It is indeed a Glencairn, I was lucky enough to have my brother send both flavors as a birthday gift. As to the question of nose, how does the term, "snoot full" strike you? I like the feel of the larger but the smaller seems more appropriate at times.

black mamba Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I like the standard Glencairn the most, but have smaller and larger nosing glasses if the desire strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fricky Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Glencairn Crystal, Ltd designed and produces the Glencairn Whisky glass commonly used and referred to as the Glencairn glass. They also produce a glass they call a Mixer Glass. Some retail outlets refer to that as a Glencairn Wide Bowl glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's finishing a bottle and most of us haven't even seen one yet. Of course, you do go through it quickly when drinking from that Canadian whiskey Glencairn. Which makes it even more un-American.

That's my story and I'm sticking to itI don't want to get into a pissing match with an esteemed fellow SBer, but the box mine came in says "Official Canadian Whisky Glass by Glencairn Crystal, Scotland (my emphasis). This offical glass was created by Glencairn Crystal Studio, based on close consultation with the Canadian whisky industry. The design delivers whisky to the tip of the tongue for the fullest taste experience. The slightly larger size is versatile whether serving whisky neat or in mixed drinks."The way I read that, the glass is from Scotland, not Canada, and is designed for the enjoyment of Canadian whisky, hence the maple leaf embossed in the base.

Meruck Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 While its not a high "barrel proof" it does say it is the "original" barrel proof, and oh my my, its truly "fine bourbon". Especially out of my Whisk(e)y glass from Canada, designed in Scotland. date the bottle to 1977 ish I don't want to get into a pissing match with an esteemed fellow SBer, .................................The way I read that, the glass is from Scotland, not Canada, and is designed for the enjoyment of Canadian whisky, hence the maple leaf embossed in the base.
