Even the slightest remnant of the previous bourbon can throw your reaction off. The bourbon glass plays a vital role when tasting bourbon because most glasses are engineered to enhance the aroma and taste of the drink. It would be ideal for getting a glass with a tapered mouth that directs the aroma to be fully appreciated. Bourbon can have tons of crazy notes—from tobacco to peaches—and there’s a 99% chance you’ll miss them if you don’t know how to properly taste America’s native spirit.

Bourbons contain nuances. Every spirit is slightly different. The taste can vary based on everything from the types of grains used in the mash bill to the time spent aging in the barrel. Wood notes are broken down further into toasted oak and new oak (oaks), pine and cedar (conifers), and pecan, walnuts, and almonds (nuts). I personally much prefer a Glencairn glass to the NEAT Glass, but technically both are tasting glasses. Since bourbon is aged in new charred oak barrels, oak is going to be a major flavor note. But there are bourbons with notes of conifer and nuts, as well.

With a look that’s similar to glass (as long as you take care of it), plastic might just be your best choice. If you imbibe outside around the fire pit or tend to get a little rowdy, Tritan plastic is impact-resistant and much lighter than glass. Age has a profound effect on bourbon. That’s how long it stays in those barrels, weathering varying winters and summers. The heat and cold coax the whiskey’s dance with the wood — a dance that produces the color and flavor you enjoy. Maybe you’re looking for something fun for a new bourbon enthusiast. Or maybe you want to surprise a bourbon connoisseur who already has everything bourbon-related. Aroma is another thing to consider because our sense of smell is 80% responsible for what we taste. Keep your lips slightly parted and inhale above the whiskey glass. You can identify which notes are dominant in the nose- spicy, herbal, floral, or oak. Bourbon Glass

When drinking bourbon, breathe in through your nose, then exhale long and smooth through your mouth. A controlled breath will prevent alcohol from exploding in your sinuses. Pour, Sniff, & Sip!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUPPLY

You can tell a lot about a man by the way he tastes his bourbon. (No, that isn’t the start of some chest-puffing boast to identify one way as “right”.) These flavors are lent, not only by the barrel but by the corn, barley, wheat, or rye that’s used in the mash bill and how they are treated before hitting the barrel. That sweetness is broken into subcategories like candy, baked goods, and buttery flavors. With each being broken down further into caramel, vanilla, maple syrup, toffee, honey, butterscotch, chocolate, and baked goods. Notice its color; is it deep brown or light yellow? The appearance can indicate how long it has been aged in charred barrels. Aroma
