For bourbon, a splash of water or a single ice cube. Same for cask strength single malts. A friend was able to get some glacial ice which was even more lovely (and pretentious) but it is our way. |
Well, if you think adding small quantities of water makes a difference- wait till the glass wanking starts.....
Pictured above is the Reidel whisky glass, and you can see its quite different from the traditional tumbler- which are usually offered by the makers as well when they offer branded glasses. At risk of guffaws, glasses make a huge difference to your whiskys. My personal fave tho is the cheap standard ISO wine tasting glass. I prefer these to the expensive Riedels.
If you this is wankery, I do understand, however its easily tested. Into your favourite tumbler style glass, pour yourself a favourite whisky, add water, ice whatever to taste.
Taste. Pause. Reflect.
Pour the contents of your glass into a Reidel whisky glass or ISO glass. Repeat.
I think you will be surprised.
Wait till we start on wine glasses.....
