Hi everyone. I'ts my third post about Whiskey .

I hope you like it.

1. Whiskey Glass

“There is indeed one person who can help solve “writer’s block”. His name is Mr Johnnie Walker.” - Ashwin Sanghi

1.1. The Old Fashioned (or Rocks) Glass
For drinking :
  • neat (no ice)
  • on the rocks (with ice)
  • in cocktails

Rocks glasses are similar, and sometimes the terms are used interchangeably. Whether you like it neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails like the old fashioned outsider which it gets its name, these glasses are sure to get the job done.

1.2. The Shot Glass

  • For fast ingestion

Just for shots with Whiskey :)

1.3. The High Ball Glass

  • For cocktails

Hi ball glass, had name for those who want their whiskey with a little less tannin and a little more sour mix

1.4. Snifter Glasses and Glencairn Glasses


Nowadays, we’ve graduated to using mostly tulip-shaped whisky glasses to drink our single malt whiskies. Our whisky glass of choice here is the classic Glencairn glass , known as the official whisky glass, though you do get others in this style


Snifter Glasses are typically used for brandy, but are often lumped in with other specialty whiskey glasses and do essentially the same thing—they feature a similar tulip design to direct the aroma to your nose, a stem to help drinkers swirl their beverage, and like the Glencairn they just look classy too.


Don't drink and drive friends!
