Go grab a tulip glass or a snifter. A wine glass works in a pinch. Why the big belly? It traps the aromas like a warm hug. Never use a shot glass—that’s for tequila and bad decisions. You want the nose to dance.
Pour just a splash. About one ounce. Swirl it gently. Watch those legs (the oily streaks on the glass) slide down. That’s the alcohol and flavor talking. If it looks like molasses, you’ve got a rich treat.
