Those who enjoy good whiskey deserve to have the best tasting experience, even if they're just having their routine glass at home. There are a few ways to properly taste whiskey, so it's important to remember that expensive bottles of the liquor are meant to be savored and sipped rather than taken down easily as shots. Observing the color of the liquor, the gentle smell, and trying to acknowledge the tastes at the beginning, middle, and end of each sip will help you get the most out of your tasting experience.
Keeping these tips in mind, as well as having the proper drinkware on hand to serve your favorite whiskey, is important. Below are some of the best glasses you can have for whiskey drinking. Many are made from fine crystal for very clear finishes or glass and feature unique designs and curves to help aerate the liquid. Others have unique lips to help the whiskey fall into the drinker's mouth or special designs for measuring out the liquor easily. No matter how you're looking to drink whiskey, whether it's on the rocks or in a classic cocktail, these glasses are a great place to start—and will look great on your bar or bar cart. Presentation is key!
