The Glencairn Scotch Whisky Glass
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
I appreciate this advice but disagree with him about presentation because the whole point of a whisky glass is that it is not a large rocks glass but falls between that and a shot glass in size. It's meant for tasting. He says you should swirl the whisky around in the stem glass but that's to expose it to the air. A good whisky glass does that without much swirling.
The stemmed glasses are just too effete for me, I prefer this option: the shape of the glass is similar to what he recommends but the design is much less "fancy" and more appealing: http://www.amazon.com/The-Glencairn-Scotch-Whisky-Glass/dp/B...
Single malt whisky, usually Laphroaig. Neat with a few drops of distilled water. In a proper glass that enhances the aroma and flavour, not a "rocks glass":
