However, as I have aged I have acquired a number of different drinking vessels. I have used all of the afore mentioned aside from the Glencairn in addition to brandy snifters, sherry glasses, port glasses, and well you get the point. Old Southern families may have not understood changing systems of economics, but they did understand how to drink. To this date however my prefered method for drinking scotch is from an old Pewter cup made by Steiff which proclaims its self to be a Washington Cup. The pewter keeps the scotch comfortably cool and a I find that by simply rinsing it with water after a drink, and extraneous scents are eradicated. It is quite nice if you can find it.

In his experiment, he tries Scapa 14, Balvenie Doublewood, and Laphroaig in a flask, a shot glass, a tumbler, a wine glass, and a Glencairn glass, noting the differences in each. You can read part 1 here and part 2 here. [...] [...] Luke at the Aspiring Gentleman takes a look at how your choice in glassware (or metalware, in the case of the flask) affects how a scotch tastes.
