[@darkjesterxiii]

I got the Dragon glass as a gift. I didn't think too much of it at first, but if you leave it on the table in front of you with the opening pointed to your face, you can get wafts of the alcohol you're drinking. I also kind of hold it kind of like you'd hold a snifter, but with the pointed bottom resting between my ring and middle finger. It just kind of naturally sits there. I wouldn't say these make the glass better. I also wouldn't claim these as selling points at all. Just what I've observed by interacting with the glass for a while.

[@SyBernot]

I went on this journey years ago. My conclusion is it really depends on the whisky. I like the Norlan for most whiskies with a lot of barrel. The Glencairn for peaty or complex drinks and the rocks for most everything else. I find myself using the rocks more often and the others for special nips. I really like the Norlan but I've found a few whiskies that just don't play well in it. It really just comes down to whatever you prefer.

I like a two-pronged approach. Glencairn for when I'm tasting a new whisky or really want to dissect it, and rocks glass for everyday drinking.

[@alexanderk7422]

Glencairn (any tapered small mouth glass) under 55-60% abv... generally Old Fashion/DOF (wide mouth tumbler) for the barrel proof juice (55%+ abv) Personally, I drink a lot of whiskey that legally qualifies as hazmat (or close to it) and I prefer not having liquor laser beams scorching the delicate inner lining of my nostrils when I drink that delicious nectar of the Gods. So I give my barrel proofs a wide birth! :-)

@@eespinosa64 my mother-in-law gave me their Diamond Decanter set for Father's day last year. It's asthetic, IMO, is great without losing a ton of functionality. I recently bought just the whiskey glass set to add to it. Definitely recommend.

[@jarryd2018]

I had a similar experience with Norlen vs Glencairn. I do 99% of my whiskey drinking with a Glencairn simply because I have a bunch of them from all the clubs I'm involved in and getting them as gifts. The Norlen seems to mute the alcohol a bit and I've noticed a little bit sweeter flavor in my limited experience with them. I think aroma plays a huge role in drinking so the rocks glasses get reserved for cocktails.

[@RockyMtnHigh2008]

When nosing, try opening your mouth a little when inhaling it, this cuts down on the alcohol burn. Similar to retro-haling a cigar and the different notes experienced, when nosing whiskey also try putting your nose up to the glass and breath in through your mouth only, there's a whole other set of notes there too and almost no alcohol burn. That said, for me the Glencairn is my favorite. I love all whiskey, but I hold scotch in a higher regard. My first sip of Laphroaig was in a Glencairn and when I see one with brown nectar in the bottom I am instantly brought back to that day, where my love for all things peaty and smoky began. Love the videos Jeremy, keep them coming!

[@soilent9618]

Glencairns are definitely the "gold standard". I find my whiskey experience is significantly enhanced by them.

[@Dezenaamisnietbeschikbaar]

You are basically the only creator where I don‘t even skip the promotions, because even the promotions are entertaining

[@thejonathandoan]

I am FIRMLY in the "glass type changes flavor profile" camp. Just yesterday, I bought a GlenDronach Original 12 yr Single Malt Scotch that I poured into a Glencairn and I didn't like it. There was far too much bite and even a stale flavor on the back of the throat. I then used a rocks glass (only holding to sip, so no heat transfer) and it immediately made it more palatable and smoothed it out significantly. I was able to enjoy it more. The shape of the glass and width definitely affects the way the whisky is presented.

[@evanlindemann5133]

Try twirling it in the glen for a bit first, and then let it rest a minute. Also, the first pour is often the harshest as it will likely contain the most concentrate of vapors.

[@Elliot_Z]

Often it is recommended to let the whiskey sit for about 10 min before nosing it. First sniff should be just over the glass. Second should be above the rim. Third nose in the glass. Getting more robust each time. I like the Glencairn glass just for that more intense experience.

I recently got myself some Norlan glasses, before seing this video, and I actually did the same experiment than you on different glasses. I can only agree with you on all these points. And I also checked the temperature difference from one glass to an other. The Norlan stays pretty chill even in the sun and your booze keeps chill too. Great glasses! Cheers...

[@blind7000]

I use a Glencairn for tasting whiskey, I use a rocks glass for drinking it. Also, the more you drink out of a Glencairn you will notice your body starts making little adjustments so you don't have to do to the 'stare at the ceiling' to take a drink. I noticed I naturally open my jaw a little more, tilt the glass more once it is resting on my lip, and other little tweeks so I can still look at people when I am drinking but it wasn't right away. I like the Norlan, just not at that price point.

[@derekb4life]

Got the Dragon Glassware set with Decanter as a Christmas gift with Johnny Walker Double Black and Happy New Year.

I like your style man

[@mikefalconer7978]

I have had the Norlan glasses since their kickstarter campaign. It is my favorite as well. Even purchase 2 of the black whiskey glasses when they came out. If I have 1 negative it is that they feel delicate/light in my hand. 1 of the four glasses I original purchased has broken while washing.

[@carloswarren9141]

As a retired US Navy Sailor I've got years of drinking under my belt but now Im looking to refine my pallet. New sub!

[@Mdub-z]

I have the Dragon glasses, Rocks, and Glencairn. The Dragon glasses look great, but my favorite is still the Rocks glass. Glancairn is more difficult to drink from and, yeah, feels a little too fancy to me.

[@bupegasus]

I love the glencairn, though the thing about the nose is I think the best distance varies from person to person based on how strong your sense of smell is. It looks like you just dove straight into it, which makes sense cause when you drink that's what it'll be. But I believe Rex from the Whiskey Vault actually explained to start further away and then slowly approach it and stop when you register the notes, cause further and you'll get more ethanol.

[@nolomus]

Glencairn for me all day, everyday! (also I hold it with my palm facing upwards, so you won't warm up the whisky or do the pinky-finger thing 😂) Great video as always mate 👌

[@aaronfrench8322]

I have three of these. Rocks, Glencairn, and Norlan. I need to explore the Norlan more often. I like rocks for casual, Glencairn for tastings, and Norlan for right in between the two.

[@terrysoule8441]

My response would mirror yours precisely. So I will just give yours a 👍

[@scottcrawford3745]

The Norlan is a modified Glenciarn inner-sleeve with a slightly more open rim, with a Tumbler-style outer shell. That's why the nose is almost the same, but your hand doesn't warm the whiskey because of the double-wall construction, resulting in fewer expressed fumes. Best of both worlds, defeating the " nubbin" hold style of the Glenciarn. Dragon Glass is a stemless snifter... which is a nice modern take on a very oldschool/ classic way to drink spirits.

[@Statistica101]

Shot glasses reminds me of crappy liquor, regret, bad decision, & worst hangovers.. You nailed it.👌🥂

[@timspring817]

[@kwangungucarreira3116]

I have the Norlan glasses, and I drink Whiskey and Tequila out of them, and I gotta say, these glasses are fantastic!

[@twohandsandaradio]

I'm glad you mentioned the glencairn and how high you have to tip it up. Just a personal problem with it... I had throat surgery done back in the 90's. Ihave no "hangy down" thing. When I tip the glencairn up to get anything out of the glass I always get choked. Sucking down gasoline and rubbing alcohol down the wrong direction is enough for me to get the red solo cups out. I'll try the Norlan's next. Thanks!

For starters, your approach to advertising is brilliant, the vary first channel on KZbin I don't skip through the ads, they are intelligent and humors A+.

Ascetically i appreciate the walls, Wainscoting and trim painted the flat grey. Subscription earned for a channel of quality, well done.

[@TBConl]

Love this channel. I have and use 3 of the 4 glasses you tested, I do not have the dragon glass. On the other hand I found a way to limit the heat transfer from hand to glass, drink it faster in which ever glass you use. (it may make for a shorter night, but it works if heat transfer is a problem.) Great video.

[@reafkennedy3069]

For nosing it's hard to beat the Glencairn. For social drinking I prefer a Libby's Bourbon glass. (Proud member of the Bourbon Brigade)

[@Johngabe100]

Just ordered yesterday the Borland glasses. Looking forward of putting in some JohnnyWalker blue and enjoying

[@the_answeris6694]

Gave a pair of the Norlans to a friend for Christmas. She likes Jameson, double, neat. Perfect glass for her.

[@luckyrichardson1677]

I think for the glen glass it depends on what you are drinking. I drink some strong scotch whiskeys/whiskys and bourbon barrel aged whiskeys. So it depends on what you are wanting to do. Enjoy an evening by the fireplace or with a few friends and catch up over a nice glass of something to warm your soul. I have found recently that I am currently in love with some of the more peaty whiskeys like Laphroig and Connemara 12 year. Honestly, I only use shot glasses for measurements for cocktails & mixed drinks for friends that just want to party a little hard. Otherwise I do agree with your sentiment on shot glasses. One whiskey you might like is Glenmorangie La Santa Sherry Cask Scotch Whisky. It's a slightly tart cherry flavor with some smokeyness on the backend but is friendly to drink neat.

[@seegarsmkr]

JS, In some places in Scotland they have stemmed Glencairn glasses which remove the pinkie out sensation, give you more to hold on to and because they have the stem don't force your head back as much. I have Norlan glasses as well and love them but the sippy cup lip becomes a problem when I go from a thin lip glass to the Norlan...I dribble a little which is fine by myself but a bit embarrassing when sipping in a group.

[@nohabs]

I have the two top picks, so I am happy to announce that you guys have good taste....because you agree with me

[@jakeizlove]

I recently grabbed dome Glancarin glasses and they're perfect. Only downside: They can hold the smell of detergents and should probably go through the dishwasher instead of being washed by hand.

[@koettfaers]

Use odourless detergent, use very little amount (goes for all hand dishing, you need alot less than people think) and just rinse then out after properly? How hard can it be, I never put finer and thin glasses etc in my washer. I have never had any problem with my glasses, you clean them and wash them out and youre done.

[@benjaminsitaud9743]

Rinse them more. The dishwasher will damage it with time. But yeah hand washing is rusky too, those things are really narrow.

For someone who has just started to enjoy/learn about whiskey, this video was superb....i have quite a lot to understand, and your video has been a great intro for me....Thanks!

[@paladonis]

The other reason the tilt is so far on a Glencairn is to help leaned the head back, opening the throat and air passages. Kinda like you would do for CPR. Helps in tasting a whiskey. I tend to only use em when I am first exploring a whiskey myself. I have these great, tulip shaped glasses with a flat bottom that I got a few years ago in a Glenlivet box set and I love them for normal drinks. They also work nicely for an old fashioned. I have to a new rocks glass for that though. Suggestions for good Rocks glasses?

[@jayreynolds1291]

Your findings are very much inline with my own. As much as I like the "gold standard" Glencairn, I find that my Norlan glass is a much better experience all around. It noses better than any other glass I have ever used and I really love the aesthetics of it! Well worth the price...if you are not afraid to pay good $$ for a bottle, then you should be OK to pay good $$ for a glass to enjoy it in.

[@johnbrittingham4471]

Preferably a glass with no holes in it.

[@zachstanbery4060]

It should have at least one...

[@amoschan9531]

Don't get the Pythagoras cup then

[@portnaluinge]

Gotta say your conclusions kinda match my own experiences. The Norlan is my favourite as well, but I'd recommend trying a sherry copita nosing glass as well - if you tour distilleries here in Scotland, you tend to find that's what a lot of the blenders use when they're sampling from casks.

[@haroldhollingsworthesq]

just got some Norlan glasses and they have become my go to, 3 separate days and two differing friends, it works, put simply!

[@dl2343]

I've actually started to really like my little mini 4 oz rocks glass. Tilts back like a rocks, but small lip like a glencairns. More comfortable in the hand than a rocks glass, because it's like just the bottom half of a 8 oz 1 cup glass. Straight walled glass. I drink blended Irish whiskey on the rocks in it. But I just got some glencairns and really like the feel of it.

Had two Glencairns for a few years. Then my wife got me a set of Norlan glasses for my birthday last year. And if I had to, I would rate them pretty much the same way. Rocks glass for the “Old Fashion”. Shoot glass for the clearish stuff for south of the boarder.

[@DarrellGrays]

Hello Sir, FIRST MY DISCLAIMER **** everyone's choices will vary**** now with that out of the way...

I have four of the Norlan whiskey glasses. Two each of the clear and flat black. Best whiskey glasses 🥂 ever.

[@PieceBoxHeid]

Love that we all have differing views on the "best" glass Personally love the glencairn, especially the way I hold it and the way it makes me drink. I wrap my hand round the glass and savour every taste Give me a rocks glass and I drink too fast, Never ever appreciate the nose and want to start on the cocktails (sours, old fashioned etc) Each to their own, as long as its the "best" whisky in the glass

[@Ph33NIXx]

Funny we went uppersit direction on the Norlan - I got the Rauk Heavy Tumbler and the Valid glass. So.. my tumbler is clear, my taster is black - The Valid has a cool effect, because its double walled.. and black, it acts like a Mirror - making the Whiskey glow from within But my opinion... i just love to look at the whiskey in the Norlan glasses.. makes me enjoy it more. Becomes like a ritual.. you know taking out the special glass for the special liquor and just enjoy it. savour every sip

[@DragonClawDave]

I have the Norlan and Glencairn, like both but stay away from the Norlan because it just seems to get finger smudges easier and i feel like i will smash it when i am cleaning it as the glass is very thin

[@harryshutler]

For me it has to be Glenfiddich glasses. Two in particular, the whisky nosing and tasting glass; Its shape is ideally suited to whisky tasting. The narrow mouth allows for ease of drinking whilst the wide bowl allows for the fullest appreciation of the whisky’s colour. The sturdy solid base creates a comfortable grip, designed to be easy on the hand. And their crystal glass tumbler; Simple, elegant and stylish, Glencairn crystal tumblers and fit better in the hand.

[@sylance777]

Completely agree on the Glencairn glass! I just shopped for whiskey glasses and the Whiskey Tribe highly recommended it... but I couldn't get myself to pull the trigger because of how delicate it looks.

[@pross6525]

I have a couple of tumblers and i really enjoy the Glencairn glasses i have i am now considering buying the James Bentley Glass set. But i will definitely agree with you about the awkward way how you have to hold the Glencairn and how you have to tilt the glass is a constant pain in the neck for me

[@BrutusMaximusAurelius]

I have 2 types. A couple of glencairn glasses for when I really wanna go for a tasting. And some tumblers for when I just wanna sip my whisky.

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

As a #WhiskeyTube channel that started MOSTLY due to Whiskey Vault it was good to see another video about this. My default is a Glencairn glass of course, and I even have some that are Glencairn rocks glasses because I like the shape but want more room for my ice. The only drawback from a standard rocks glass is when you get a neat pour at a bar and... well it looks like so little whiskey in that type of glass. I do want to get a Norlan glass someday AND something I head of not long ago called a Tuath Irish whiskey glass... cuz they fancy. Once I have my bar setup completed I will need to do my own glass comparison and see how my own biases stand up to what I seem to prefer. Now all you need to do is find an excuse to visit Texas and invade the whiskey vault in person! Sláinte!

[@ps-gh3hu]

Sir, you are a distinguished gentleman, with a fine taste.

[@johnandrus3901]

The glencairn is the go to glass for nosing, for what that is worth, but it is a pain to drink out of. I use a nice sized tulip shaped glass or a rocks glass. I would call the tulip glass that I use the 'Zoftig' of glasses. Whatever whiskey I like, I just go to my tulip or a nice crystal rocks glass. Easy to drink out of and nice to hold. I don't have a Norlan, but I might just to give one a try and get a few to put in my bar.

[@CybreSmee]

Try blowing on the liquid, removes most of the alcohol burn if you don't like it (roll the liquid around so it coats most of the glass, blow then look at the legs. When they are about halfway down its ready to nose). Also, with the glencairn you can sniff at the top of the glass for a more rounded smell. Sounds weird, but it really works. Use a single nostril if you can. Each one will have slightly different results. Sniff through your nose and exhale through your mouth. I find short sniffs are better than long draws, but each to their own. Have a nosing chart handy to help you identify scents - most of them are pretty vague and often not obvious until they are pointed out. Slainte!

[@williamburr3519]

Norland is a great combo of Rocks and Glen Carin glasses. Really enjoy using them.

My preference is a Libbey Master's Reserve 9217 -- it's tulip shaped with a fairly thick base but larger than a GlenCairn. The GlenCairn is a great tasting glass, but the Libbey 9217 is more of a drinking glass.

Hey Jeremy, Have you try the Turkish Tea Glasses? Norlan's design based on the this tea glasses and when we tested for our new video and we were very surprised with the result.

[@markpaolino5908]

I noticed you had a bottle of Eagle Rare behind the Rocks Glass. I was just out at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. It was started by Thomas Jefferson when he purchased 400 archers of land for corn. It is on the historic registry. It was not Buffalo Trace till 1995, but the buildings and and the land are on the registry. They stayed in operation through prohibition, when you could get a prescription from your doctor.

[@AboutBeverages]

As someone who uses both the Norlan and the Glencairn when we review whiskies, I completely agree! Great video.

[@omurkanakar4880]

You will find that the thin waist Turkish tea glass experiment is the best among them because it makes it difficult to smell the whiskey inside and it is the best option for those who do not like whiskey burning.

Norlan feels like a plastic cup and, for some reason, picks up fingerprints like no tomorrow. By the second glass it looks foggy and way dirty. Nose, for me, is very muted.

VERY fragile. I've gone through a few of them.

[@therealjenso]

Anyone drinking out of the bottle is more interested in the alcohol and not the flavour. But if that's your thing, go for it. I choose a glass based on the situation. If I want to really enjoy and savour a whiskey, then Glencairn all the way. Because we taste more with our nose (scent) that with our tongues, the narrow mouth concentrates the flavours. If i'm with friends and I'm just drinking whiskey paying more attention to the conversation than what's in my glass, then it's the rock glass. That's just my 2 cents. Anyway, I enjoyed the video.

[@djsaunter]

I think a drop test is in order. I've seen a couple Glencairns take a countertop height fall to the floor and shrug it off like it was nothing. Also, if tipped over by accident, a Glencairn will save at least 0.5oz of sweet nectar, ask me how I know.

[@scottcrawford3745]

The glassware is all relative: I have a collection of crystal that all have very specific purposes... even only for special days. Only because of the feeling of comfort they give, or whom I received them from. Baccarat Diamante Double old-fashioned, Edinburgh Thistle DOF ( very rare ), Lots of different Waterford Tumblers, DOF's and snifters... a pair of Glencairn-style by Riedel, among others. Some cost more than I can say without feeling embarrassed, others were a steal, or gifts. Some feel amazing because of shape, weight/ heft, style. Delicate whiskeys are more Glencairn style, to enjoy the nose ( Cragganmore). Others have so much punch they can be served in an Quaich and the nose is still powerful ( Lagavulin/ Laphroaig). The glass enhances your enjoyment of the spirit. Seems a shame, though to serve a $200+ whiskey in a cheap Coke-logoed glass, or such. Some of these spirits deserve the respect that years, if not decades of waiting went into the making. Treat yourself to a nice whiskey glass...Try antiques places, or Ebay. There's some amazing stuff out there, collecting dust, unappreciated, just waiting for you to anoint with the Water of Life. Slàinte!!

I’ve just ordered up your whiskey flask which has the 10/10 advantage of offering a livener on the move !

You might like the Canadian Whiskey glass, it is kind of a cross between a glencarn and a rocks glass... it is my go to for bourbons and ryes. Still prefer the glencarn for heavily peated stuff.

If you're into drinking whiskey on the rocks the Corkicle Ice Wedge Whiskey Glass set is a good one to keep around...
