  • what he said!
    @TomvanHalen I liked selfridge's woman, she had knowledge, you could tell she loved whiskey, and her message was as @Aroogah makes out, it's about the whiskey inside the tumbler that matters.
    I'd rather drink out of what I've got, I'm no whisky aficionado, but seems to me you can fall into a black hole of expensive this is supposed to make it taste better, when it's all subjective anyway..
    If GF wants to buy the norlan glasses as a gift for me, or some of those weird rocking whisky glasses, I'll take them with good grace, but no currently that fussed..

  • For sure, and I'd take good whisky out of a bad glass any day of the week. I also probably would never have bought the Norlan glasses for myself, but I'm quite pleased to have them now, and I enjoy nice glassware in its own right. I'd certainly spend the money on a Glencairn glass all over again, they ARE an improvement on tumblers (with the caveat I only drink small quantities of whisky at a time - if I was going to pour myself more than 50ml I'd have a tumbler)

  • personal preference, but the Glencairn feel a bit wine/champagne glass for me, there's something quite reassuring, and adult (masculine) about drinking from a tumbler. Probably just how my brain makes the connections with drinking spirits, and who as a child I saw drinking spirits in my house..
