Whisky Glass - The Key to Unlocking Aromas

Over 80% of whisky flavor comes from the 'sense of smell'. Therefore, choosing the correct Whisky Glass is more important than choosing an expensive bottle. Alcohol Please focuses on providing professional-grade Nosing Glass options. The unique tulip shape of these glasses effectively gathers aromas, allowing you to capture the most subtle floral, fruity, and smoky notes in the liquid, elevating your tasting experience to a whole new level.

The Myth of the Rock Glass

The wide-mouthed Rock Glass is popular due to cinema culture and is perfect for enjoying a drink 'On the Rocks' with a large ice ball or for mixing cocktails, providing a great atmosphere. However, if the goal is to 'appreciate' a rare single malt, the wide rim of a Rock Glass causes aromas to dissipate quickly, making the drinker miss the most enchanting top and middle notes of the whisky.

Design Principles of the Nosing Glass

This is precisely why we insist on providing nosing glasses. Taking the Glencairn Glass as an example, its design includes three key elements:

  • Wide Bowl: Provides enough space for the liquid to contact air and oxidize, releasing aroma molecules.
  • Tapered Rim: Acts like a chimney to 'gather' released aromas and push them toward the nose, enhancing the sensory experience.
  • Solid Base: Prevents palm temperature from overly affecting the liquid while providing a comfortable grip.

If you want to take every drop of precious spirits seriously, a professional nosing glass is an indispensable investment for your cabinet.
