The beautiful thing about whiskey is that you don’t need a glass to enjoy it. It tastes great straight from the bottle. Or you could just make your hands into a cup and pour a little bit in there if you have concerns about the hygiene of drinking straight from the bottle. It is flu season after all. So, glasses aren’t necessary to enjoy whiskey, but they are so much more civilized than drinking from the bottle through a giant swirly straw. And since this world could be a little more civilized at times, we’ve scoured the internet and found seven of our favorite whiskey glasses. Pinkies out.

The Corkcicle Cigar Glass: I'm not a smoker, so I'm gonna file this glass under "ridiculous." It has a shelf for your cigar, because cigars are really heavy?
