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..

That kind of associative thinking is powerful, can't discount any psychological benefits of your favourite glassware. Combine the two and try and get some tumblers that taper in at the lip, similar to the shape of the rocking ones there, and you'll get the best of both worlds. A trip to TK Maxx would sort you a couple of nice Dartington ones for a fiver

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)
