Fresh Glass for Each Bourbon?

[jtexaslonestar]

Rinse and dry between different bottles.

You mean Betty Jo Bialowski? I hadn't heard that name since college. Everyone knew her as Nancy.

Very pleased that someone here finally recognized the origin of my nickname.

Try to get the last drop....repourOnly exception is when going from rye to wheatear, or vice-versa then I may rinse....if I remember

I've done all three, but I too love the smell of the empty glass the following day or later in the day.

Typically 3 unless whatever I poured didn't taste right for any reason. I try to rinse at the end of the night though, as I learned the hard way that the "leftover" can go really bad fairly quickly (and the smell was enough to throw my palate off for a week).

If drinking two or more bourbons, each gets its own Glencairn because they will get sampled alternatly rather consecutively. Plus a glass with spring water to rinse the mouth and add a drop to the bourbon. Plus rocks glasses. Recently had three vintages of EWSB. My side table got a little crowded.

I always use a fresh glass for each different bourbon. It's kind of a pain to clean up afterwards, but I like comparing the empty glasses the next day as well.

I rinse with a tiny bit of the next bourbon. I just don't like cleaning that many glasses, water reduces the proof and alters flavor and I want to add it when I want to add it, and absolutely nothing does as good of a job cleaning fresh whiskey out of a glass, than more whiskey.

Nope. I just pour another in the same glass. I've drank Bourbon, Scotch and Irish in the same evening out of the same glass. No big deal. :cool:

[justataste]

No reason for me to rinse. I suck every last drop out of the glass before a repour!

[theglobalguy]

I figure if the proof is high enough it'll burn off any remnants of the previous drink. Can't be bothered to wander upstairs and grab another glass. Or it might be that my taste buds aren't sophisticated enough to notice the difference!

[hectic1]

A blend of rise and no rinse depending on how late in the night it's gotten.

[Kalessin]

No need to rinse anything if you drink it straight from the bottle!

I usually rinse and reuse my glass, and I almost never have two pours of the same whiskey in an evening.
