This is usually done when you’re drinking cheap or low-quality whiskeys (presumably during some sort of whiskey emergency) which have far fewer flavors to savour and appreciate in the first place.Īlso known as rocks glasses because they’re wide enough to fill with ice, the lowball because they’re used for simpler cocktails with a limited number of ingredients and the old fashioned after a drink that was called … old fashioned, whiskey tumblers are short and wide with straight sides, a thick or heavy flat bottom and no stem or handle. However, this is ok because the way to drink whiskey with shot glasses is not by getting the most out of its aromas and flavors and spending time savouring and appreciating its nuances but by drinking the whiskey quickly and in one gulp or shot.

You won’t taste the flavors of the whiskey (which is the taste plus the smell), but you will feel the burn of the alcohol. This means you will smell the fumes of the alcohol which won’t have evaporated, but not the aromas of the whiskey which will have dissipated. Therefore, there’s no room for air to get to the whiskey so it can breathe and let the ethanol evaporate, and there’s nowhere for the whiskey’s aromas to accumulate. The small size also means that they’re filled to the brim – anything less would frankly make the whole procedure a waste of time. Since they’re small there’s no room for ice cubes to calm the burn of the alcohol – or to put it more accurately if you did put ice cubes in them there would be very little room for the main objective.
While shot glasses may vary in shape, they’re generally similar in size and are small glasses that contain a maximum of 1 – 2fl oz of whiskey.Ī shot of whiskey is served at room temperature and straight out the bottle.
