BEST COPITA WHISKEY GLASSES

DOES THE SHAPE OF A WHISKEY GLASS MATTER?
It depends on what your preference is. Glasses with a smaller opening and wider base are designed to enhance the aromatics of whiskey, so are great for whiskey-lovers who drink their drop neat. If you love a good scotch on the rocks, a short Old Fashioned-style tumbler works best, as you can fit larger cubes. Highball glasses are preferred if you mix your whiskey, for example as a whiskey soda.
