HARD TRUTHS ABOUT THE
RULES OF DRINKING BOURBON
3: SKIP THE SHOT GLASS
While the flavors of bourbon can be quite different from Scotch
whisky, Williams recommend sipping a neat pour from a Glencairn
glass, a curved vessel typi-
cally reserved for scotch.
“Aroma is a huge part of
your bourbon experience,”
says Williams. “You need a
glass that lets you capture
the aroma—caramel-y, nutty,
etc.—to get you excited and
cue up the rest of your
senses.”
A shot glass won’t enhance
this experience, he says, but
a glass with a broad base and
tapered top “to capture aro-
mas and funnel them up-
wards” will do the trick. In
lieu of a Glencairn, he sometimes uses Old Fashioned or rocks glasses
with a similar, slightly tapered shape.
