Where did you get your Glencairn style glass? It's shorter (or maybe it's the angle of the camera) than my "official" Glencairn glasses. Thinking less prone to tipping over whilst enjoying by the TV/Fire/etc.

That's a fantastic buy. Probably my favorite Speyside.One of my favorite scotches came back in stock after being out for 6 months. In a sub $100 bottle this one is pretty damn good. View attachment 7762907
It’s…wait for it. SchottWhere did you get your Glencairn style glass? It's shorter (or maybe it's the angle of the camera) than my "official" Glencairn glasses. Thinking less prone to tipping over whilst enjoying by the TV/Fire/etc.
I went to these and haven't looked back:

Libbey 15248 Gibraltar 4.5 oz. rocks glass
Made in the USA, have some heft to them, aren't delicate and can eyeball a 1 Oz pour at the top of the scallops and it doesn't look tiny.
I end up way over pouring in a glencairn unless using a measure.
No excess head tilting to drink and no pain in the ass trying to rinse and dry one when switching to a different pour.
Sadly in small quantities will pay about $9 for them now, yet can get a case of 36 from a restaurant supply store for under $2 each...
As to the flute and nosing, stop doing that:

It's like an IOR/Valdada - clean, clear, crisp even at short range of hand to mouth.But can you see your whiskey as clearly as Schott glass![]()
I got mine here:It’s…wait for it. Schott
It’s normal sized.
My favorite actual Glencairn I got in Ireland at a really cool whisky bar and was logo’d. Cracked in the luggage on the way home. Still usable but don’t want to drink glass by accident. I’d rather have dropped a Schmidt honestly. At least that’s replaceable. I like the smaller Willet for bourbon tasting. The distillery sells them on EBay of all places.

It's the coatings, provides minerals we are missing in our diets.I think it may taste better than Glencairn. Weird.
I’ve read of these scope lickers recently. Maybe they’re on to something. Maybe they’re licking alpha glass.![]()

Oregon eh? The original BMH and Rowan Creek was some good stuff (NDP but they chose well and from the era it was 12-15 years old). Only Oregon stuff I've had was Rogue and was frankly crap (under aged and hops which don't belong in whiskey)
Rowan Creek is good.Oregon eh? The original BMH and Rowan Creek was some good stuff (NDP but they chose well and from the era it was 12-15 years old). Only Oregon stuff I've had was Rogue and was frankly crap (under aged and hops which don't belong in whiskey)
This stuff right here.....too lazy to find my phone so I ganked a interwebz image.
BTW, original meaning of OFTD is 'oh fuck that's delicious'....true story.

Cheers! You inspired me to get out a bottle from St. Kitts I found. I’m off as well a few days and it’s nice. Got some range time in past couple days with new Arkens.
If you've had the discontinued Hibiki 12, how would you say this whisky compares? I find the regular Harmony to be nice, but just not at the same level of quality as the 12 year old, and these days it's overpriced for what it is. Hoping this Master's Select might bridge that gap.
I’ve not had the 12. This is a Japanese release that’s pretty good. Paid $60 some time ago. It’s worth that. Good but not blown away.If you've had the discontinued Hibiki 12, how would you say this whisky compares?

Any special reason to hit that fine bottle?Had two fingers of this the evening of the 30th. 1943 bottle, very smooth. I enjoyed it.
The guy who shared it with us rescued it from a chucklehead that dumped half a bottle in with fucking coke and ice as they were going through a loved ones estate. WTF. A $500 bottle for a mixer…

They sell it at Kroger’s in glass bottles in Texas.I’ve been working on Glocks today, so I’m just drinking Cheerwine. Its a soda pop only sold in the Carolinas. Sort of like Dr Pepper.
Same here. My favorite bar bourbon.Love me some KC 9... drink it almost daily. Cheers....
Fortaleza is some good stuff across all three ages, too bad it is so darn spendy. Is the traditionally made version from Sauza.
These are limited to 11k bottles. Numbered on the back. I did see Sauza’s name in small print somewhere on the label. I’ve been drinking more “no additives” tequilas lately. I think is one of them. Out of curiosity mainly. While you don’t get the huge vanilla, caramel, cinnamon flavors like 1942, they’re still there just more subtle. El Tesoro Anejo is a really good one also.Fortaleza is some good stuff across all three ages, too bad it is so darn spendy. Is the traditionally made version from Sauza.
