What determines the type of glass to use with whiskey depends on the individual's mood and intentions. There are some drinkers who like to imbibe in a large amount in a short time so they may use a shot glass, while others savour the flavour and sip it slowly.

Tulip:

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.

Tumbler:

This glass is similar to the tulip glass, except it doesn't have a fluted top and is more of a squat and wider glass. The aroma of the whiskey is collected high in the bowl which enhances the flavour and teases the senses as you inhale and sip. Thuis is an excellent choice for drinking a good quality whiskey.

Tulip:

Shot glasses come in a few different shapes but are always small in size. They hold around two ounces of liquid that is usually downed in one swallow. Some people find drinking whiskey from a shot glass is rough on the palate so follow it up with a chaser, which is usually a beer or may be water.

Tumbler:

The old fashioned tumbler is designed for mixed drinks and is sometimes called a highball. It usually has straight sides and has the capacity to hold around seven to ten ounces of liquor. The whiskey tumbler is most often used to serve Whiskey with a mix, however on occasions it is used to serve whiskey straight.
