Scotch/Whiskey Glass GB

But what glass? IMHO you're losing the most important part of the experience in a good whisky if you're not using the a glass of the proper shape. The taste is defined almost entirely but the nose so if you're drinking from a wide mouthed or tumbler type glass you're not getting a vast majority of the aromatics and might just as well be drinking a mixed drink or the cheapest blend you can find instead of a fine whisky.

Personally I prefer an iso tasting glass over the Glencairn because they tend to be thinner glass/crystal which lets you hand warm the whisky much easier. Plus, being a stemmed glass, they tend not to get as greasy with fingerprints. The Glencairn is still a great glass though and I have several of them as well. Much more robust so it's perfect for a bar or herf where it's more likely to get dropped or knocked over.

I was being flippant. I had also had a couple whiskies since I had the first half of the day off.

I use Glencairn glasses almost exclusively. I do have a couple of other neat glasses that I would use but they're in boxes due to the miniscule size of our kitchen.

I don't need measurement marks though. I have a pretty consistent pour and I add a few large drops of water so marks would be of no use to me.
