Which glass should you use to drink rum? It's not uncommon to feel lost when it comes to choosing the right glass for your precious spirit. How do you choose a rum glass that will enhance the aromas and flavors of your elixir of the sun? Because, indeed, rum shouldn't be enjoyed in just any spirits or liqueur glass. To fully appreciate the olfactory and gustatory potential of a good rum, it is essential to choose a rum glass with very specific technical qualities. To begin with, in order to properly appreciate the amber or silver color of your rum, it is essential to choose a glass with absolute transparency. This is to prevent any unsightly discoloration of the glass from distorting the color palette of your rum. Ideally, for purists, lead-free crystal, made of Kwarx. Bowl, stem, diameter: After observation, it's time for tasting! This is where the shape of your rum glass will play an absolutely essential role. Generally, it is advisable to use a stemmed glass, which prevents you from holding the glass by the bowl and thus warming the contents. So don't use a tumbler or goblet. The bowl should have a sufficient diameter at its base to allow for good oxygenation of the rum. This oxygenation surface created in the glass (the surface of the liquid in contact with the air) allows the aromas and floral or mineral notes of your rum to develop and release their full potential. Thus, the wider the glass, the faster the oxygenation of your spirit will be. But be careful! A glass that is too wide would have detrimental effects on the quality of your tasting experience. In addition to over-oxygenating your rum, its volatile aromas are very likely to escape. It is therefore advisable to choose a glass with a limited capacity (between 16 cl and 35 cl maximum) and a narrow rim at the top of the bowl. This narrow rim forms a chimney shape at the top of the glass, which both prevents the aromas of your rum from escaping and concentrates all the flavors during tasting. Last but not least! For optimum comfort during your tasting sessions, it is recommended to choose a glass whose rim (the upper part of the glass that comes into contact with the lips) has been finely cut for a pleasant feeling of lightness when tasting your drink.
