Designed by a Welshwoman with sterling credentials (distillery president, acclaimed
author of single-malt books, can out-drink
Rip Torn), the CMSG's a patented, ten-years-in-the-making mini-goblet that'll
enhance any liquor experience. The specs
of her masterwork: hand-blown from almost-completely-lead-free glass, its full
bulb allows so much flavor-releasing
oxygenation it'll make your hemoglobin red
with jealousy. An elongated, pinched neck
prevents spillage during heavy swirling and
funnels taste-essential aromas right to your
sniffler. Finally, the precisely flared lip splashes
your poison directly on your tongue's sweet receptors -- as crucial to the appreciation of
alcohol as an overbearing father.

The Glencairn Glass differs from other glasses
in that it is was designed entirely for whisky.
Old fashioned Tumblers and nosing copitas
are the two glasses most commonly used for drinking whisky.
The Glencairn Glass is the result of years of consultation with the whisky industry.
Designed by Raymond Davidson with the help
of the Master Blenders.
This really is the perfect whisky glass.
Currently supplied to every distillery in Scotland
and Ireland, as well as every major whisky
festival around the world.

Nosing Copitas are small tulip shaped glasses with a long stem. These are designed specifically for nosing spirits not for tasting. Master Blenders nose each whisky and often do not even taste the whisky. Whisky Nosing Copitas are in fact based on sherry nosing copitas.
The right size and shape if glass is vital, and makes a huge difference to one's ability to nose effectively. What is requierd is a 'snifter' which allows you to swirl the spirit and gather the aromas around the rim. A copita is ideal. The trade use a 'spirits nosing glass', made of crystal, for sharpness and clarity, often calibrated in fluid ounces so you can tell at what strength you are nosing it - eg, if the sample is at 60% ABV and you pour one ounce, then dilute up to the two ounce mark, the drink is now at 40% ABV.
