A luxury, but don't pass it up!
By Juli Perry
I've been a disciple of single malt Scotches for over 15 years, well before it was trendy. I have owned these glasses for about 4 years. They are magnificent. No doubt, you will be TOTALLY aware of the varying qualities of a whiskey after you've sipped from this glass. BUT, beware in taking care of them. They chip really easily.

You say these glasses are a waste because of the tongue becomming anesthetized. That is more a reason _for_ using a glass such as this, than against it. Not only because it directs the liquid to the proper areas of the tongue, but also because it controls the aroma, which is an essential part of experiencing a scotch. There are only 4 primary tastes, but 32 primary scents. Some people prefer a brandy snifter, but for me that holds too much of the aroma and overdelivers. These Vinum glasses work well for me, although I would probably enjoy an ever so slightly larger bowl.
As a side note, it you are drinking your whisky at a % of ABV that is anesthetizing your mouth, you don't understand how to properly taste. The majority of whiskies need a splash of water to open them up, how much water vaires form one to the next.

Don't know the exact reason why, but these are the best I've tried--far better than brandy snifters--for tasting the full complexity of a good spirit. Not just single malts but blended Scotch, bourbon, even aged rum. If you don't like the taste in these glasses, then you should change your choice of alcohol. Or dump it into a highball glass, cover with Seven-Up and top with a cherry and umbrella.
