I usually drink Scotch and prefer it neat (or maybe with a little water). I like using a whisk(e)y tasting glass like the Glencairn glass.

For a mixed drink I use a standard rocks glass, but nothing fancy.

What do you use?
I have several glasses that came with a bottle that I received as a gift around the holidays - makers, glenlivet, crown, etc that are pretty standard. If it is 'scotch snob' time then I drink out of a snifter.

Anything but a snifter - will drink either: neat, splash of water, or 1 ice cube

Snifter - neat.

I have one of these too, and have the same problems you do. Plus, I find the Glencairn glass nicer to hold on to, and it is less delicate.

Re: What do you drink your whisk(e)y in?

A simple flask

Straight out of the bottle

Either require a gargle and there are no glasses to wash!!

Riedel glasses: have them for Scotch, bourbon, tequila, and port

Re: What do you drink your whisk(e)y in?

Glencairn glass or snifter, with a drop or two of water, somewhere between room and hand temperature. I love the Glencairn glasses.

I also have two Riedel Scotch glasses but rarely use them. They're very nice glasses, but they do nothing for the whisky. The shape seems to actually dissipate the aroma rather than concentrate it. In fact they seem to be able to make a great whisky taste bland to me. It's too bad because they're beautiful glasses.

Re: What do you drink your whisk(e)y in?

I almost always drink my whiskey neat, too, but on a hot day while sitting outside smoking a stogie I might have it on the rocks with a splash of sour. It's refreshing that way.

Re: What do you drink your whisk(e)y in?

If I'm entertaining guests I use the leaded crystal glasses I got as a wedding present. When it's just me I use a Tom & Jerry grape jelly jar -- I kid you not! The size is perfect for a few fingers of whiskey, it's thick enough glass that it doesn't break if it gets knocked around, and it cracks me up.

My girlfriend is from the Czech Republic and bought me a great Leaded crystal Decanter and Whiskey glasses. I only save the stuff in the decanter for special occasions due to the "Leaded" Factor.

Re: What do you drink your whisk(e)y in?

I drink my whiskey and coke in these glasses made by Bodum. There is no perspiration on the glass, so you can set it anywhere and the drink stays REALLY cold.

Re: What do you drink your whisk(e)y in?

Reidel Vinum port glass. It's shaped very similar to their bourbon shape, I drink a lot of port, and enjoy drinking more than buying multiple glasses
