What Glass Do You Use?

I have tried many glasses when it comes to sipping bourbon, but I find the best to be the Glencairn glass. That's just my opinion. What glass do you use to sip your bourbon?

I also like a copita nosing glass.

A Glencairn is nice, but a bit too dainty for my liking. I often just use a standard brandy snifter.

Good point Boston I really think a snifter comes in as a close second for me due to it relative ease of use I just don't find I get as much in the nose when using a snifter.

My only problem with the copita is that as it gets low in the liquid gold it feels like I have to tip it upside down to try to get the last little bit out. Also as a disclaimer the first time I used one of these I basically dumped a small remaining amount on my face as I titled back in an effort to drink the final contents :). I have had positive experiences since and the nose is a very close second to the Glencairn IMO

A straight walled rocks glass here. I do want to get a Glencairn though. I feel I'm missing out on the nosing part of enjoying a fine bourbon.

Cheers,
RG
