I was surpised that the level of spirit be at the widest part of the belly, I usually keep it below. The nose of the glass varies with the level of spirit due to the effects of fluid dynamics. Reserving the belly as a gas vessel allows, the harsher, lighter volatiles to rise quicker due to a gas depression caused by the widening of the vessel, and keeps the more desirable aromas contained. You should be able to get your nose in the glass quicker if you keep your spirit low in the belly.
Now that's a glass! How fun it be to tackle a "dram" that size. Just don't cremate my pickled carcass. It would take 3 weeks to extinguish the flames. Does anyone know off hand if it's possible to acquire one of those mega-glasses? I'm sure it's not. Even if it were available, I'm sure I couldn't afford it. I'll just have to settle for the human size glasses.
that was awesome!!! poured the whole bottle!!!!!

Does Glencairn actually produce the glasses or they are more a marketing and ad specialty company now ?
Seems like its Stolze that really manufactures it, anyways it a great glass nonetheless.

So, I'm assuming that will be your glass for when your doctor forces you to one glass of whisky per day...

@sawyerrogier ... had to be suspended due to sensitivities of a Whisky Producer over the appearance of their Flask in the Vlog.

The huge glass seems to be perfect for the Worlds largest bottle of whisky (105,3 litres Tomintoul 14yo).
