Alcohol snobs are worse than audiophiles.

I drink all of my liquor, coffee, tea etc out of the same enamel mug and I can generally smell and taste the difference between them, so no

>>14156382
Nothing beats the gold old cognac snifter, because it's fun to play around with it.

>>14156382
There's definitely a difference in the way the fumes come out of differently shaped glasses, how much it affects your perception is up to debate tho. Just go with a glass pleasing to the eyes.

>>14156382
Just drink your liquor out of shot glasses.

>>14156382
the point of the different glasses is so you know what everybody's drinking without asking them.
it's purely social.

>>14156382
That glass in the middle is called a Glencairn and it’s probably the best for getting the “full” experience of the drink, whisky specifically. As an anon pointed out before me, it redirects the fumes and scents of the drink into your nose More efficiently and therefore allows you to taste more of it. I’ve never actually used one but I’d like to eventually

>>14156616
Why would you want to actually taste the whisky?

>>14156388
>i don't understand thing therefore it is bad the post

>>14156616
Although that is right, those small shitty glasses just don't give you the right feel while holding it. A tumbler just feels way better and is more ergonomic. And unless you don't want to sniff on your spirit the whole time there's no need for those faggy nosing glasses.

>>14156624
Exactly, even top tier whisky isn't great to be huffing on all night long. So what do you do, drink one slow ass drink of some coveted bottle and then go get a normal glass for your actual drinking pleasure? It's stupid. Just jam your nose in the fucking bottle at that point, like sniffing a pretty lady boys farts.

>>14156624
Buy something that isn't bottom shelf swill and you will understand.

>>14156691
I have, I still don't feel like inhaling it the entire time. Most of my inheritance was spent on high quality whisky. While incredibly smooth at higher qualities you don't really get much more of an experience compared to just smelling the stopper or from a normal glass.

>>14156382
its simple geometry
how much liquid is exposed to the air
ho much exposed to the heat of the hand
how does the opening concentrate or not aroma
its hardly cope to deal with facts - which is of course the essence of actual taste

>>14156382
They all have their purpose, some are useful like keeping your drink the right temperature and some are so minute that most people wouldn't notice.
It all comes down to if your drinking to get drunk, or if you want to sit back and enjoy a single drink over an extended period of time. The more you want to enjoy a glass of your favorite booze the more you should pay attention to the type of glass you are using.

>>14156884
im not sure why you assume i cant get drunk elegantly

>>14156382

Simple answer is that they matter a little bit, but not much. If you drink enough spirits to know what a gelncairn is, you'll notice the difference, but if you don't, you won't.

Everyone can agree martini glasses are shit though.

>>14156388

Anti-snobbery is it's own kind of snobbery.

>>14157920
Martini glasses are the best looking ones, but a pain in the ass to handle and drink from.

>>14156382
Taste wise, not much but in terms of smell and nosing, they make a world of a difference. You can't smell shit from a tumbler in comparison to a snifter. Also, niggers tongue my anus if you read this.

>>14157920
>If you drink enough spirits to know what a gelncairn is, you'll notice the difference
To be fair if you so much as watch a single whiskey review you'll probably find out what a glencairn is, I've never seen anyone doing whiskey reviews out of a tumbler or even snifter.

I use glencairn for all types of spirits

>>14156382

If the top of your glass is wider, then your nose will fit further in so you'll smell it better. Wine stems can keep the heat from your hands from warming up the wine, but red wine is better warm anyway.

>>14157955
Made sure to read this a couple times so they tongue your anus even more; you're welcome.

>>14156382
To some degree, I notice that whiskey smells nicer in this glass than in a normal round old fashioned glass but that's about it.

>>14156637
v true
a nice heavy bottom rocks glass is the superior drinking vessel

>>14157920

Doesn't make a difference, unless you use uranium glass

>>14160277

whiskey is a luxury item, a fancy glass can add to the experience. you'll probably want to savor your drink a bit more when drinking from a crystal tumbler compared to a plastic 1/4c measuring cup.

>>14157924
What a snobbish thing to say

>>14160308
whisky is grain vodka that soaked up flavors from whatever was in the barrel it's being aged in before.

>>14160340
no shit sherlock, alcohol is a great solvent that can carry a wide variety of flavors depending on the manufacturing and ageing process. whiskey isn't always made in pre-used barrels, sometimes new, sometimes charred. the wood itself will start to infuse the whiskey if you store it long enough, depending on how the barrel is treated and what it's made of

Pic related is the best liquor in the world.

>>14160574
birdgang

>>14160574
It is not but it is a good value bourbon for sure.

Anyone tried Old Grand Dad 114?

>>14160594
Yeah. It's extremely flavorful, but predictably hot due to the proof and quite spicy from the high rye content. It is NOT a "smooth" whiskey, but it's a superb value for those who like their whiskey intense. It is a flavor bomb for better or for worse depending on your preferences.
I love it. I'm not the kind to go for Speysides or Maker's Mark.

>>14160609
I don't know much about whiskey. My favorite is >>14160574.

>>14160621
It has considerably more rye than WT101. WT101 is not a high rye bourbon despite advertising itself as such. The rye content in its mash bill is rather average and comparable to other low to medium shelf bourbon "standards" like Jim Beam and Evan Williams.
It's like a $30 bottle so I'd recommend it if the description in >>14160609 isn't immediately offputting to you.

>>14160654
Thanks for the response. Maybe I'll grab it this weekend.

Is barrel proof/overproof shit supposed to be drunk neat or basically a "chose your desired proof" sort of deal where you personally water it down until you find your sweet spot?

>>14160692
Do you have a vagina? Are you attracted to men?

cask proof rum makes good grog if watered down. Anything else either serve over ice or buy something weaker

>>14160720
t.responds to >>14160698 with "yes and yes"

>>14160727
I'm trans btw

no seriously grog is good and anyone that can't handle x proof whiskey has no business buying it. how does this make me a vag haver?

>>14160692
>over 60%
water down or mix
>under or at 60%
drink straight unless it's cheap shit

No one actually tastes anything anyway. I don't know what you're arguing about.

>>14160753
>taste isn't real
What did he mean by this?

>>14160741
>advocates dilution
>lacks a vagina and attraction to men
Pick one and only one.

>>14160692
Try it neat then water it down until it until it doesn't murder your mouth but still tastes good. If you can't find a good balance, mix the rest and move on.

>>14160692
I drink overproof neat just because the sensations feel nice.

>>14156382
it unironically does.
you can't smell the sweetness of a good whiskey in a rocks tumbler.
you need a good snifter.

Someone yelled at me for this in the last whiskey thread so I went ahead and got a few glencairns. It's one of those situations where I'm only recently starting to have nicer spirits on hand with any frequency so the thought hadn't crossed my mind before.

>>14156382
I think ones more scents might want a curved-in top but fucked if I know.

>>14160985
U a brap smeller

>>14156382
if it cups below the nose, you won't smell it as strongly as you taste it. If it's got a wide mouth, or flares out, you will. Some wide-hipped glasses attempt to trap some of the volatile compounds evaporating out, but they're mostly pretty nasty anyway. The rest of it's either taking the ergonomics of drinking into account (accomodating ice, swirling, grip), or giving a visual cue to the flavours that are supposed to be apparent.

>>14156388

>>14157944
I'd argue that the Nick and Nora looks better than the Martini glass, but fuck me the Martini glass is iconic as shit.

>>14160340
It isn't vodka because it wasn't filtered. Vodka needs to be filtered to be considered vodka and wants to have a neutral flavor profile. Whiskey accounts for the mash being part of the flavor profile - particularly American Rye, but also Scotch's emphasis on malted barley and the way that malted barley is dried, and the way that Irish Whiskey has the whole thing with drying out in a kiln.

>>14160032
Noone uses snifters anymore. Even cognacfags have moved on.

>>14156382
it's not dramatic
it's mostly just that glasses that get narrower towards the top make the smell more concentrated so the liquid has a stronger smell and taste
apart from that, it's just presentation

>>14161562
I see plenty of rum guys using them.

>>14157924
Lol yes

>>14161562
They will go back to snifters to differentiate from scotchfags.

>>14161654
If it's harsh on the nose, swirl it... or if you're fidgety.

>>14160692
it's preference and varies, but under 45% is kinda bad. Some distilleries pick the best batches for their cask strength.
looking forward to starting these tonight.

>>14162902
fuck off, "investor". nobody's gonna pay you 30 y brora money for your reddit limited editions in 10 years.

>>14160985
yep but the cost thing is silly though. The only reason to spend more than a few bucks for a glass is to show off.

>>14162925
pff im gonna drink these. Investing in whisky is stupid.

>>14162938
>pff

>>14156382
Yes and no.
Heat retention, aroma direction, surface area for oxidation, dumb shit like layering. These are affected by glass shape and some people notice/care.
But for 99.9% of people, nah.

Is this the whisk(e)y thread?

I’m running low on Scotsmen and my supermarket has a sale on minors going.
Kinda wanna give something American a try for a change, but besides Jim and jack (horrible swill) they only have 4roses, it seems. I hear good stuff about that stuff, but it’s less than 15€ for 0.7l. That’s Vodka tier prices! For comparison, laphroigh QC is like triple that price!
So, do euros only get a shitty version that’s cheaper or is that really a decent whiskey for pocket change?

>>14163196
Do yourself a favor and leave

>>14163215
Why?
Too elitist for you?

>>14160583
how do it taste

>>14163196
If you're talking about their basic bourbon, I haven't tried tried it but I've always heard it's decent. Not sure if it's different in Europe.

>>14156382
It does only for 2 reasons.
Smell/Aroma
and decanting.

I'm not a wine snob nor drink much at all but you do get some diehard snobs swearing by decanters and aerators
I understand the idea of aeration and how decantors can do that, but so can simply pouring.
The ones with sedement catchers are just for sophisticated wine that still has that stuff in it.
I can 100% say that most people that have one have never needed it.

However, with whiskey a glass like the glencairn or even a wine glass can help funnel the smell to your nose.
Taste is 80% smell.
So you do the math, the idea is that the shape of the glass catches the escaping vapours.

A tumbler like the bottom right is ideal for big sips, like you're just sitting enjoying a drink, not necessarily the whiskey. You often see those glasses with ice in them.
Ice cools the whiskey and you don't taste it as much.

>>14163436
Yeah, that’s the stuff I’m talking about. Not expecting miracles, but it’s cheaper than even blended scotch, but always highly recommend, so I’m a bit confused

>>14163490
Bourbon in generally tends to be a good bit cheaper than scotches on the same "tier"

>>14156388
This

>>14163196
>less than 15€ for 0.7l. That’s Vodka tier prices!
Interesting. Is that only a mixer or can you also drink it as sipping whisky?

Is Evan Williams bottled in bond the king of the bottom shelf?

>>14165034
It's not bottom shelf. Evan Williams Black Label is bottom shelf.

>>14163501
Bourbon is cornswill garbage the colonists came up with because that's what they could grow. It's piss whisk(e)y.

>>14165034
evan williams is an indicator of shitty taste and also a jew

>>14156388
Not even close. Audiophiles are so fucking retarded its painful. You end up in flat earth levels of nonsense.

>>14156388
Impossible, they're just more visible because the cover charge for each is vastly different.

>>14161179
my man

>>14156382
barman here.

The differences can be significant, or they can be marginal.

Bowl style glasses difuse the vapour, and so are popular in Japan and China where the smell of alcohol isn't appreciated and hard alcohols are not traditionally chilled

Like wine glasses, whiskey aromas can be condensed to give a more powerful flavour- while this is personal preference I wouldn't see anyone who doesn't drink scotch/ amaretto/ouzo neat wanting them

If you want your drink to stay colder for longer, a very significant difference can be had.
But this would ruin a negroni which really must have a straight walled glass

So if you have a favourite drink, or have many customers yes it's worthwhile.

>>14156382
the lip i guess its called can do things to the aroma which is a big part of most alcoholic drinks. But it's insane to think it makes a huge difference and most people don't have a palate that can even notice so who cares.

>>14166991
I can't taste a differene, but everyone on the internet says that you need these glasses so do i.

>>14167010
it's more about the smell really

>>14167074
Which most people that consider themselfs "malthead" don't get either.

>>14167074
Aroma contributes to taste, it's not a huge difference but for people perceptive enough it's there. Whether you give a shit after that is up to you.

>>14163436
>>14163196
I get 4 Roses since it's pretty cheap but fairly good. You can get it for like $14 in Clapistan.

The other thing to consider is the psychosomatic aspect. Taste and smell are both strongly influenced by things beside those that directly contribute to taste and smell. There was a series of tests done a little while back where people's perception of the taste of a food was measurably changed by changing lighting, music, and what dish the food was served in. Even if you want to argue that the shape of the glass has no actual effect on the way our taste buds and nasal passages are receiving sensory information, I would bet it has a measurable impact on our perception of those things.

>>14162925
>>looking forward to starting these tonight.
>calls them "investor"
ESL?

>>14156405
>>14160032
This. I've found that cognac snifters make drinks smell the best.

>>14156382
>$20 on a single glass?
What are you? Poor? Can't afford a beautiful glass?
I bet you think crystal is just glass too.
Keep drinking your shit soda in your shit supermarket brand tumblers.

>>14156382
smell is directly linked to taste. When someone drinks beer from a can, they think it tastes worse because they are smelling the can. So the shape of a glass could certainly affect the taste of the spirit.

>>14168714
>not using tumblers you get for free with chad Johhnie Walker Red

>>14161654
Swirling coats the surface of the glass with a thin layer of liquor that evaporates.
Why do you think it's a thing? Do you think it's just playing around with the liquid?

Just won $10K from a lottery ticket. What's a good $80 - $150 bottle of scotch I should buy to celebrate?

>>14168748

>>14156688
Yeah, Glencairns are so tiny and thin that they only allow you to take little sips, it really is a different experience than just pouring some in a rocks glass.

>>14168748
>Wins lottery
>First reaction is buy expensive liquor not how to best invest it
Ngm

Glendronach 18 is excellent and at the higher end of that range. If you buy a bottle that was bottled before may 2020 it's real age is going to be a lot older. One bottled in 2019 would be around 22-23 years old due to the distillery being mothballed for a few years.

the yamazaki 25 yr was an absolutely astounding experience when I tried it as was the sherry cask. I didnt buy the bottles I was at the distillery tasting center. But even things like lagavuiling can be enjoyed using a sniffer glass just dont expect whistling pig or old turkey to taste better

>>14156382
i've drank whiskey out of both a glencairn and a standard old-man glass and i smell no discernable difference. if anything the glencairn just concentrates the stench of of alcohol directly into my nose. the most i can say is that i felt like more of an asshole drinking out of a glencairn

i also think it looks bad. same for all meme glasses, i guess

>>14163196
im guessing the dont have 4roses single barrel, but if they do absolutely go for that. still, even the generic bottle is decent. i wouldnt say the difference between it and jim is drastic though

>>14169532
I wouldn't buy a sherried scotch like Glendronach if I was going to buy a single expensive bottle to celebrate something. It'd be a bummer to get a sulfured one, and this is always a risk with sherried scotches.
If I'm buying several bottles to celebrate, sure. One bottle? Nah. It'd be a shitty fucking bummer to have the one expensive bottle you blew cash on in celebration to taste like rotten eggs because of a sulfured cask.

imagine paying good money vodka infused with second hand port wood.

>>14168748
Depends what you like, are you into sweeter scotch or more Smokey scotch

>>14163196
Over here in the burger states, we love our Buffalo Trace bourbon. They offer a 10 year old version called Eagle Rare too. I’m a big fan of Stranahan’s whisky and Michters American. There are some hidden gems over here that are quite cheap so they’re easy to overlook. Cult classic Wild Turkey 101 is a great value and don’t sleep on Elijah Craig.

>>14168729
I actually bought two bottles of Woodford reserve just to get the free glencairn crystal glasses they came with.

>>14169902
a) that's a tumbler
b) they're available on their own fyi

>>14169909
a) I know, they're just nice glasses made by glencairn
b) yes, but the glass was free with a decent mixing bourbon

>>14161562
But that's one of the benefits, you can find entire shelves of snifters of all sized at any goodwill for a dollar.

>>14169902
I also bought a second bottle to get a second glass (I'd mostly finished the first bottle, though). I buy a lot of holiday packs for the free glasses, and they're usually garbage, but these are some of my favorites. I didn't know they were made by glencairn, but I still wouldn't call them "glencairn glasses", since that denotes a specific shape (the one in the center of the OP image).

>>14156382

I paid $10 for my set of whiskey glases and like $3 each for snifters. The shape is what matters, not the high-end materials.

>>14160574
101 is great, especially for the price, but it falls in a weird middle ground. If I want a cocktail bourbon I go cheaper, usually a 1.5L of Evan Williams (the pourer fits in the Evan 1.5) and if I really want to enjoy I go a little nicer or change to scotch or rye.

>>14162902

I can see this is a whiskey thread but I can't find an answer anywhere, is Russian Standard Platinum worth the $5 more from regular Russian Standard? I like my vodka to taste like vodka.

>>14175576

platinum/gold/diamond is no more effective than your typical carbon filter, it's just an excuse to charge more for what's otherwise an identical product

>>14175576
I mean the whole point of vodka is to not taste like anything so once you've found the cheapest possible vodka you can that achieves that there's zero reason to try anything else.

>>14175608
Thanks, just checking. I'm grabbing a bottle of Imperia on a great deal for sipping but I also needed cocktail vodka, I'll just buy the regular Standard.

My ears are so fucked with tinnitus that I doubt it would make much of a difference regardless

>>14172599
OK, so I figured since it is an american whiskey, I'll go for a tumbler first and see what all the rage about ice is about.
At room temp, it was quite pleasant. Slightly off after taste, but very sweet, with notes of marzipan and no burning. If it weren't for that after taste, I could drink that shit like apple juice! Not as complex and layered as the Islays, but not bad at all! Really surprised for that price.
And then came the ice. Ugh…
Why would you do that? Slightly bitter-ish, other than that flavorless, cold brown liquid that quickly just tasted watered down. I shall never try this again.
Why on earth is whiskey on the rocks even a thing? Or is there a specific whiskey that works with?

So essentially, >>14173106 is right.

It doesn't have a dramatic effect imo, but when some whiskey snob is paying 2000 dollars for a bottle of whiskey i don't think they mind paying another 50 for some fancy glass that MAYBE makes it 0.001% better

It was one of my first whiskies in my defense, I swear I'll try 101 some day.

i think i paid 29 for this bottle after tax, i don't regret it because i was genuinely curious but I will probably never get it again unless it was cheaper

>>14175799
Yeah, that sounds right. Buffalo trace was the first whiskey I actually enjoyed, but my tastes have matured and the limited supply is obnoxious. I would buy it at like $25/bottle as a cocktail whiskey.

To the anon that recommended Woodford Reserve Double Oaked by comparing it's finish to really old cognac
You're spot on. There's something about it that makes the wood notes feel really aged and cognac wood-y. Very nice

What are some good rums to try neat? I thought El Dorado 12 year was pretty good.

>glass can only hold 45ml of liquor

honestly you'd be surprised how much letting drinks breathe affects their flavor

but I assume any of the tendy-munching nontasters on /ck/ wouldn't notice

I've seen the light /ck/, I had my first drunk experience. Played Civ 6 while moderately drunk and then CSGO while sobered up, all while talking with friends. Haven't completely sobered up but it was definitely a fun experience.

Smells yes, taste no
A wine glass like whiskey glass is better to swirl and smell

The boot beer glass is the only one that makes any different because it's fun when the foot makes the beer go bulp bulp bulp
Anything else is just for alcoholics trying to add novelty to their addiction that doesn't even feel good anymore.

I could never stand to see anyone like that, whatever his age might be, but more especially when he was real old like this one was

>>14177163
Like an old person using a bulp?
why?
it's fun desu wa

don't forget tall cans because they keep the beer cooler

JW also has high ball glasses. I use that as a water glass.

the best rums out there

FUCK highland park and FUCK scotjews

>>14179339
buy amrut or kavalan instead bro. fuck cumskin whisky.

>>14175730
3 1/4s a way through a bottle of the regular bottle of Wild Turkey and I'm not hating it, comparable to standard Four Roses or Bulleit.

>>14179339
is Highland Park bad? I like how they are embracing viking/scot combined history with their marketing, was thinking of buying a bottle just to get shitty drunk while LARPING as a warrior and beating my roommates with kitchen utensils.

>>14175680
This is the best way to live. I’m done getting caught up in trends and snobbery, just when you think you understand something some smug scum bag will chime in and tell you that you are wrong

>Appleton Estate has a new bottle design
I like the cork but hate everything else

Who would you recommend to get premium whiskey gloves?

>>14179846
Never got too down with rum, aside from mixing it with juice, or cocktails. What are the flavours I'm looking for to determine good rum?

>>14179859
You truely cant experience without gloves.I'd recommend that if you haven't tasted whisky without fully articulated whisky gloves, to go back, and rediscover whisky all over again.

link your favorite glass set, I'm getting paid soon and need new shit

>>14179861
Depends on what your palette gravitates more towards, rum is kind of the wild west of alcohol with how little rules and regulations there are on it depending on the country producing it, so you can get everything from really dry oaky rums to sweet fruity/molasses rums.

>>14179620
It's gone from great to good for the price to good to overpriced in what seems like 5 years

They're in the same ballpark as Macallan these days, and all of their stock is clearly worse/harsher/more mass-produced

>>14156382
I sip my whiskey out of old yogurt cups. I like the French ones cause they are glass

I have an open bottle of Four Roses I got for 17.99 and its delicious. Most people would tell you its more of a mixing whiskey than a sipping whiskey, but thats because they are afraid to admit to sipping something so cheap. Its not overly complex but its delicious and if you want to try American whiskeys for a change, this is a great place to start. Bang for your buck is unbeatable.
