The flared lip lets some of the alcohol dissipate and lets the aromas open up. It like less radical NEAT glass. Still won't stand up on the carpet though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-87232408305851201732014-03-26T08:45:05.591-05:002014-03-26T08:45:05.591-05:00I think the definition of Vodka is a bit different...I think the definition of Vodka is a bit different in the US than anywhere else. In the US it's defined as being as flavorless as possible, while there can be some flavor to it if the producer really wants (Vestal Vodka is doing a great job of it). <br /><br />But yes, in the USA it doesn't seem that interesting to create vodka.Sjoerd de Haanhttp://maltfascination.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-5086880314043086182014-03-26T02:28:37.824-05:002014-03-26T02:28:37.824-05:00Absolutely agree on the GNS.

I was just at North British distillery yesterday, where they had to stop producing GNS because they couldn't meet client's high standards for (low) congener levels. If a massive Diageo/Edrington owned plant cranking out 70 million liters of grain spirit every year can't do it, I wouldn't suggest the little guys try it.Dan Shafferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272083916851582394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-1410954301852084642014-03-25T12:41:08.216-05:002014-03-25T12:41:08.216-05:00I much prefer the Glencairn Wide Bowl over the Nea...I much prefer the Glencairn Wide Bowl over the Neat: http://whiskyadvocate.com/products-page/product-category/glencairn-wide-bowl-set-of-two/<br /><br />Easy to hold, gets your nose right in there, and is big enough for a nice Manhattan.sam knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-20691101422729170402014-03-25T11:20:12.549-05:002014-03-25T11:20:12.549-05:00I just ordered a set of each of the blasadh and NE...I just ordered a set of each of the blasadh and NEAT.

I still don't feel the perfect bourbon glass has been created though. I want something more stable. Something that has a bigger footprint. Too often my glass will rest on carpet and I don't like having to put a book under the glass to do so. I'm thinking a Glencairn with a big footprint.

I'm tempted to get a pair of Neat glasses to try them out. (A man has to spend his hard earned money on something in addition to whiskey)Justin Victornoreply@blogger.com
