It is called a Glencairn glass. It is about as tall as a single malt glass with a pedestal base, a rounded bulb at the bottom and narrows to the lip. I have tasted scotch from both a single malt glass and from the newer Glencairn design and the is a definite difference. When sniffing the bouquet from the glencairn you get a much better snse of the complexities and different aromas of the scotch. Even the taste is different. I even tried it with a better blended irish whiskey and got stuff out of it that I had never experiences before.
