Has the tumbler glass a place for whisky?

[ralfy legend]

As the title says, when I try new whiskys I drink out of my tasting glass but I find myself enjoying my dad's old tumbler glass with a stag on the front, so has it a place in our world of drinking our much loved whisky??

Ralfy, anything that adds to a person's feeling good when they are enjoying something they like is a bonus like you drinking in your dad's glass. Cheers and enjoy. My dad was born in 1903 and I still use his shot glass as a measure to pour into Glencairn. Memories...

ralfy how about the Denver & Liely whisky tasting glass for those who like the traditional tumbler style of whisky glass. It is a hand-blown glass designed to bridge the gap between the traditional whisky tumbler and the traditional whisky tasting glass such as the Glencairn or Copita style tasting glass. I have to say I was quite impressed with this, it does what it was designed to do.



It isn't cheap though at £35 for 1 glass, it is currently available from Harrods.

Whilst a nosing glass is used for new drams - a big, heavy tumbler is always nice to have a dram in. Proper manly, like.

I've got range of different glasses but I find myself almost exclusively using my Glencairns.

Tumblers are fine, drink your whisky in whatever glass you like, but they let the aroma dissipate and I enjoy the nose too much. I've got a cut crystal Glencairn, which gives that nice heavy tumbler feel to it but it's a Glencairn so you can nose it well too.

Must admit opelfruit, I use a Glencairn glass as well.

Copita and Glencairn are great but it is nice to use a normal tumbler every now and then.
