A coffee mug would work just fine. But don't you have a single shot glass in your house?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

shot glass? That's not any better.
You need either a tumbler or a Glencairn Scotch glass."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I have recently purchased a bottle of Battlehill, single malt Scotch whiskey, aged 11 years.
That's considered to be an "entry level" malt- something bland and inoffensive to win over drinkers of blended scotch.
Try one of the better Speyside malts. I'll recommend Glenfarclas, Macallan, Aberlour and Glenrothes. They're all great, and less threatening to beginners.
Then sample the island malts- they're radically different. The picks are Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Talisker, Caol Ila and Bowmore. These are heavyweights.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

Oh yes- ice. If you're going to add ice, don't bother buying any of the above because they'll be wasted on you.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

Glenfarclas was surprising when I first had it. Tasted heavily spiced, in a good way."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I like to use a small brandy snifter, the better to concentrate those intoxicating aromas.
But in a pinch, a shot glass or cordial glass will suffice.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

That's why I like the Glencairn scotch glass. Specifically designed for Scotch, also enhances the aromas:
I've got 5 of them now...every Whisky show I go to they give them out."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
