Tasting spirits - the influence of the glass

Beside cigars I also like good spirits... R(h)um, Whisky etc....

To get the best taste outta all that stuff I'm convinced that you need the right glass... which is for me a nosing glass in most cases.

I made a lil experiment together with a friend to find out the difference between two glasses whic hare typically used when it comes to spirits... a nosing glass and a tumbler.

The clear "winner" in the experiment was the nosing glass... the difference in the aromas we tasted was really impressing.

What are your experiences with different glasses? What do you think about the influence of the shape of a glass?
