I have all sorts of glasses for drinking including the Glencairn type.
My favorite whiskey glasses are some stemless red wine glasses that someone gave us several years ago. Like this  Attached FileA lot of people will recommend the Glencairn glasses and they are ok but not my favorite.  
Edited to add: Got to have one of these

Round, flat bottom, straight wall Libbey's "rocks" glass. Cheap, thin, light. Perfect balance. I wish they had a BFL sandblasted on them. The ones sold here are just too steep. |

The thing about the coffee cup is, it keeps the drink mostly at the temperature you want it (ice or no ice).
Also, the handle helps keep it in your hand when you're.....not paying attention.

I may try some 4.5 oz rocks glasses. Seems like it might be perfect for 1-3 shots neat.
I have your standard high and low tumblers, basically 12 and 8 oz type glasses. While they are fine for a simple mixed drink, or with a lot of ice, For me just having one shot or at most three the 8oz glass just seems to big for what I want.  g
I think the 4.5 oz is an option I will try. Hopefully I can find some that look like the ones I have. I don’t like the stem, or stem like narrow bottom glasses. I am not a sophisticated drinker. I have no plans to develop a sophisticated palate. I simply like to try stuff once or twice a week. Basically, I know blended into blandness and beaten into no offense to even a twelve year old girl having her first drink like Crown Royal is not interesting to me. When I was a kid I remember a draft horse that startled and got of trail into some damp, swampy soft earth and cut its leg. My job while the horse was held was to rinse off the mud, Moss, and dirt with listerine then wrap a dressing soaked with iodine over it. I wiped my face with the back of my hand after and some mix of that got in my mouth and tasted horrible. (My grandfather and his brother were still doing some logs jobs with horses instead of a skidders into the 90s). When I try Laphroaig or Lagavulin it reminds me of that like it was yesterday and I have no interest in it. So stuff in the middle is what I like tasting and comparing. I have tried some very expensive and well regarded stuff I found uninteresting. I have tried stuff basically on the lowest shelf the bottles are still glass instead of plastic and liked it. |

I have Glencairn but they just don't seem right to me. I have some of the double walled neat looking ones on the first page too, but they're too light.
These are prob my favorite, Villeroy & Boch set of 2. ETA- neat of course, I'm not a fucking barbarian.

I bought my old man a pair of cylindrical, thick-bottomed crystal tumblers from Norway. Now they're my go-to sitting around drinking whiskey glasses. I miss that grouchy old bastard sometimes.

 I don't care as long as it is truly GLASS. Drinking straight Whiskey or Rum from a plastic cup just tastes funny. I don't know if it is the release agent used on disposable plastic cups or that the washable restaurant service cups have absorbed so many "flavors" from foods, mixed drinks, soap, jizz, vomit,  etc. that the alcohol releases it but straight drinks served from plastic cups just taste funky.

I've got a couple of 8 oz jelly jars I like. Mason or Ball brand, half to 3/4 full. NO ICE in good whiskey, it deadens the flavor and aroma. If you need ice stick to Beam, Maker's Mark or SangSom, or better yet go back to your chilled shot of vodka in a martini glass. I also don't drink more than 1 to 1/2 of the good stuff before going to something cheaper. The alcohol numbs the tongue and you can't get the full taste.

Regular Scotch tumbler glass. Tulip glass occasionally for bourbon. No ice and no water (if I'm going to drink, it'll be whiskey, not whiskey ice water), and about 3 fl. oz.
Quote HistoryI'll buy a set of those if I can pour in Glenlivet 12 and suddenly be drinking Macallan 21
