It's the age-old debate for whiskey nerds...copita (tulip) glass vs rocks glass? Pros and cons of each or your personal opinion is fine, though I can't say I don't hope everyone agrees with me (rocks glass), so I can win $50 off my brother-in-law.

If drinking neat, Glencairn or bust. Is that what you are referring to as Tulip?

I could get behind this.

Depends if you are having it neat/water vs on the rocks :)

Copita focuses the aroma on your nose better. I use it with almost anything I drink neat

like

The small mouth glasses are designed to limit how much goes up your nose - the high proof of whiskey means a lot of aerosolized alcohols which will overpower your smell receptors and reduce your ability to taste the complexity.

If they were meant to get aromas to your nose then you’d be using a wide body glass (more surface area to accelerate evaporation, especially when swirling) that you can shove your nose into - like a red wine glass or a brandy snifter.

I do like to use a glencairn glass for nice whiskies that aren’t my day to day pours for some of the reasons listed here, but 9/10 times I’m going to use a rocks glass like this.

Ah frankly, it depends on the Complexity, Nose, Palate, Finish, and value of the Whiskey.

won’t help your bet but i go back and forth from rocks glass to glencarin both neat

This is me too.

I like a splash of water and sometimes a little ice, so I’ve always used a rocks glass. I thought the tulip glass was intended for neat whiskey, right?

like

Small tumbler, no ice for me. Since I have a large nose I find a glencairn is a little awkward to use and forces fumes right up my nostrils. I find large tumblers to be unnecessarily showy if you aren’t using them with a giant ice cube or a cocktail.

(The whole point of a glencairn is to trap the fumes, the opposite of sticking your nose in it like you would with a red wine glass)

😎🤑😉🤣

Where are my home cooks at?

I'm entertaining guests and picked up a black summer truffle on a whim, trying to decide what to do with it. I've got some rib eyes and will be making mashed potato as well (among other things).

After sous vide and searing the steaks I was going to cook fresh rosemary and thyme in some butter before spooning them over the steaks while resting to heat them up a bit immediately before serving.

I think I've got my truffle 101 now so sounds like (cont)
