Out of interest does everyone clean there glass out when changing from 1 bottle to another?

Depends what I'm having, but generally yes. A quick rinse with tap water and a dry with a towel so there isn't any residual or smell.

If you're not too fussed about thinking too much about what your drinking then no need I guess. I've just got OCD......

I generally clean the glass out when changing from one whisky to another but not when drinking the same whisky, I only ask because a few people have made comment about me cleaning my glass between drinks i assumed it was standard practice with whisky

I clean my glass out after ever whisky, but I will generally use a couple of different glasses if having more than one whisky in the night.. I generally use water out of the kettle that has been boiled earlier to clean the glass out..

I use a new/clean glencairn glass for every different dram in a session. I wash up the glasses at the end. The peaty expressions require a drop of dish detergent when cleaning, Speysides often just a rinse

Yep, each expression gets it's own clean glass.

I'm sure whatever you do to clean your glass will be right, I just find boiled water does not leave any taints.. I will generally leave the water in the glass for 15-20 mins.. I'm fairly lucky though as like many on here I have quite a collection of glasses so I can be lazy with them lol

I always change glasses with the change of whisky (an old wine habit).

For me it's plenty of glasses means plenty of options but hot water as said before does the trick
