scotch glass

[matt]

I picked up my first scotch glass on ebay yesterday. Is this acceptable?

That's a nice glass to drink from.
It's halfway between a tumbler and a port glass.

Good find.

Good to know.
Thanks. I am waiting on my second bottle of scotch a glenvielt 12 yr. So far I have tried and liked Macallan cask strength.

It's the kinda glass they use for tasting whiskey - the shape collects and funnels the vapors so you can get the full effect. As Bruno said it is a nice glass to drink from.
We got given a couple of glasses for our wedding that are straight sided about 3-3.5 inches across about the same high but have about an inch of solid glass at the bottom - I love drinking from these.

BTW don't be afraid to add water to those nice malts it can really bring out the flavors.

Nice taster's glass and I don't think a piano will fall on you if you put a different scotch in it, but not a bargain. They go for ~$25/pair here: Malt Advocate Marketplace and these are pretty nice glasses.

I've got the Riedel Vinum cognac glass which I really like and it works well for nosing just about any type of whiskey or spirit. It's not cheap, that's for sure, but I think I might look into the Macallan glasses because of your post.
