This ruling applies to the so-called Nosing glasses that are especially recommended for single malts. In whiskey fairs is always asking me, what is going on with these glasses on itself. Many only know the heavy thick tumbler for blended whiskey. Nosing glasses with whiskey are to enjoy and celebrate. The whiskey will be considered first, then swung the glass. As the whisk (e) y runs on glass. Then take and internalize the smell. Then the first sip. Sometimes something completely different when one has imagined the smell ago. Whiskey Liebhaer for some water when necessary, possible dropwise. Is best done with pipette. Then re-odor sample and taste sample. The taste varies. In some cases, unfortunately, in the aqueous direction. For cask strength 56% always recommended. At normal strength 43-48% water addition is optional. By no means ice. Fits fortunately eh not the glass. Would hit the whiskey taste of a single malt like a bomb. Ice is the blended whiskeys reserved. The glasses have been modified from the sherry glasses. Sherry casks often used for the storage of the premium brands of single malt.
