I have a 'mini' glencairn glass, I use it for the virtual tastings.
The small measures from L Mulligans don't look quite so lost in it

Otherwise, I have a wine tasting glass which looks not that far off the Teelings one linked which I use for wine and spirits.
It would be the 'copita' version.
I got a couple free at an O'Briens wine fair a few years ago.

Can't beat wine glasses for most things, in fairness, beer too.

Can't say I've drank whisky from a wine glass, even though objectively would make more sense than some of the glasses I have used.

Beanstalk

I remember once, many moons ago, drinking wine out of a glass then taking a notion and pouring in Bailey's without washing the glass once i'd drained the wine. it wasn't pretty, but pretty hilarious at the time.

Am sipping Laugavilin 16 tonight. It's a very delicious and almost fruity islay. Never had it before and had a bottle knocking about unopened since Christmas. Definitely one of the islays I will buy again even if it is a tad on the more premium price range.

Anyone here drunk MVR 2019? Have managed to get my hands on a few bottles. Thinking of auctioning a 2/3 off to buy a MVR2020 but will probably keep the other 3/4 for drinking but only if it's actually any good!

Yup found it very mediocre to be honest.

Not bad, just not great.

2016 was the last one I really liked. Didn't get 2020 or 2021 mind.

Why in goodness name would you waste so much on multiple mvr, auction sites are loaded with 2019, sure its popped back up in off licences a good few times even recently.

Middleton Fever.
It's been going around this last year.
No cure, apparently.

It's nice, but not sure I'm a big fan of cask strength.

Add a few drops of water. The great thing about cask strength is you can choose your favourite strength rather than having it chosen it for you. Add a drop, taste, add again until you're happy. Add too much, and damn it you're just going to have to finish that dram and have another one.

Hush your mouth

Add a drop of water to it, might help for you.
I love it neat, think it's very drinkable that way...
but I have a bottle of 1792 full proof bourbon, Jim Murray's whiskey bible winner a few years ago...and it's absolute muck....
I actually threw a couple of shots into a Starbucks iced mocca to see would that help..and nope...made a bad coffee worse.

Zebrano

RB21 And RB CS tonight.
Both good but very different.
I think the CS is the winner.

Knappogue Castle Marsala cask finish tonight after a starter of Black Bush..
Gives me an instant rum vibe first; moreso than some rum cask finish one's like say the Caribbean Rum Cask finish of Bushmills for example.

Then I'm getting a port type taste which I suppose isn't miles away from Marsala ( apparently)
Not one for me to drink a few of them consecutively, but a nice one to throw into a mixed night

If you add too much water just add more whiskey.

Black Bush and Kilbeggan both hit that brief along with the others mentioned above

Mr.Sir

Thanks folks, I’ll do a controlled taste. I won’t do the dog on it as went baloobas at a gathering there last summer.

Missed the last week of posts as I didn't notice we moved to a new thread.
The 10,000 post rule is a bit pointless imo. Well other than marking the milestone achievement. Well done lads

Its because the forum software has significant problems with larger threads and a cut off has to be set somewhere.
