The Whisky / Whiskey thread

[grumpybaldy]

I'm not a big whisk(e)y drinker (we had a nice bottle of Springbank 21 to share at Christmas), but was thinking about exploring matches for cigars after dry January (!). But to the point - as a novice, I'm thinking that the design of the Norlan glass is a bit counter-intuitive in that it seems to insulate the liquid from the warmth of the hand (unlike the normal glass), or am I wrong and is whisk(e)y not like brandy where part of the design of the classic balloon glass is about warming the liquid?

Does water slip between the glass? (i.e. the whisky receptacle and the glass around it) Some similar glasses have this issue.

I was looking at them....are they worth it...I normally use a glencairn glass.

No idea if you can visit, postage to you should be much cheaper than to me. It cost just under ?25 for the two bottles, I think it'll be around a tenner where you are

A couple of new additions to the ever increasing whisky cupboard arrived today
