Discover Whisky

I was reading today at the Scotch Blog about the whisky glasses from Glencairn crystal. I don’t have any of these but am going to have to go and get some asap.

But it got me thinking about whether there is a real benefit to using a whisky tasting glass against using a traditional “tumbler” (a glass). I have a small collection of glasses including some for Bruichladdich that I somehow came by. But my favourite is a tasting glass for Rum that I got in St.Kitts whilst watching the cricket (Scotland didn’t have the best of time unfortunately). The tasting glass came with a bottle of the 23 year old Zacapa rum which is distilled in Guatemala.

In honour of this great little tasting glass we’re going to include a review of some rum in next couple of months. I’m thinking of maybe doing the El Dorado 15 year old which is a personal favourite.
