I finally got my Irish Tuath glass in the mail, so I decided to break it in with my favorite Irish Whiskey! I really love the look of these glasses, but I love the way they feel even more so. Slightly larger than a Glencairn, but MUCH more comfortable to hold. I also like the curved lip, it just feels better to drink from. Let's see how it compares though! Nose: Bright orange and peach, a bit of a surprise. Warm christmas cake, caramel toffee, a bit of ginger? Cinnamon sugar on buttered toast. Palate: Sweet berry jam, almost minty spices. Nice warm spices, cinnamon, clove, slight bitter oak, subtle white pepper. Sweet citrus, candied pecans, hard toffee. Finish: Long finish. Astringent at first, but mouthwatering as it lingers. Spices hold on for a short while, followed by shortbread that fades to a buttery warmth. That astringency is warming, like the white smoke from a dry fire, though I don't mean to say this is smokey at all. Conclusion: I honestly didn't know what to expect, whether I'd even be able to tell a difference or not, but there were some real differences with this glass. The biggest thing I noticed was that a lot of those super sweet and nutty notes I usually get from Redbreast 12 were a lot less prominent, allowing me to delve deeper into some of the spice accents. The difference isn't huge, but I think I'll keep trying this out until I decide whether it'll be my go-to glass. If it were all based on comfort, the Irish Tuath glass would win 10 times out of 10.
