As in so many things, the world of whiskey is slowing catching up to the world of wine. Case-in-point: glassware.
Every self-respecting bar will have at least three dedicated glasses for wine: a small-bowled for whites, a globe-like for reds and a flute for bubbles. A high-end restaurant may have a different glass for each varietal or blend style! But for whiskey it’s often, eh, whatever glass is handy.
