'Most of the time I drink whiskey neat or on one big ice cube, and prefer it in a straight-sided glass, otherwise known as a single or double old-fashioned glass,' says English. “The Glencairn glass is ideal for tasting whiskey neat,' says May.

The opening is more narrow than your everyday glass, which allows for more intimate nosing and tasting.'Ĭamper English, a cocktail writer, prefers a straight-sided rocks glass. LC May, grandson of Clyde May, the original bootlegger, and brand ambassador to Clyde May’s Alabama Whiskey prefers Glencairn whiskey glasses for at-home tasting or special occasions.
