What determines the type of glass used is purely a personal preference. There is a range of glasses suitable for the consumption of whiskey. There are some drinkers who like to consume as much whiskey as possible in a short space of time and others who would rather take their time to sip slowly and enjoy whiskey at their leisure. Quality whiskey requires quality glasses and some of the glasses available on the market are listed below.

If drinking a high quality whiskey then it requires a high quality glass to compliment it. Using a chaser for a lower quality whiskey would be easier and quicker. Following is a list of Whiskey glasses:

Tulip.

Shot glasses vary in both size and shape. The idea of a shot of whiskey is to down the shot in one swallow. Most shot glasses hold two ounces of liquor, so this practice is easily done. On occasions a drinker will take a shot of whiskey and then follow it up with a light chaser. Beer is the usual chaser although water is sometimes used. These chasers may be taken using a shot glass.

Similar to the tulip glass, the snifter doesn't flute at the top. It is also a shorter glass but has more width to it. It too enhances the aroma of the whiskey, as it collects high in the bowl of the glass. An excellent choice when choosing a vessel for drinking quality whiskey.

Holding not more than two ounces of liquor the shot glass comes in various shapes but is most often small in size. The idea of the shot glass is to consume the contents in one swallow. Some find this practice leaves a bite on the palate so often a chaser is downed after the shot. Most often a chaser is a beer or on occasions water is used.
