Nosing glasses
What is a nosing glass? By a nosing glass, spirits and whisky experts mean a glass with a special shape. The glass shape of the nosing glass supports the connoisseur when nosing the whisky. By tapering upwards, the rising flavours are held back and concentrated. This makes it easier for the nose to absorb these flavours and the bouquet. The shape of the nosing glass is often referred to as a tulip shape, as nosing glasses with a style are particularly reminiscent of a tulip. One of the best-known nosing glasses is the Glencairn whisky glass. It is used particularly in Scotland for single malt Scotch whisky and is sold by the distilleries there. Popular nosing glasses with style include the Snifter and the Copita, which is also used for sherry and port wine. The Copita is thought to be the oldest known nosing glass. Cognac glasses also follow a similar principle. For an enjoyable tasting of whisky, a nosing glass is just the thing. Here you will find a large selection of high-quality nosing glasses.
