How can I get a “flare” glass?

Thanks!

Now that the Flare is no longer available, is there another glass you would recommend?

Scotte, thanks for the review. Glasses have a tremendous effect on tasting and this is one of my favorite subjects. The Flare has been reviewed at a number of sites, not least by Sue Sea and myself at The Rum Project.

Our review:

And here is a dynamite (lengthy article) comparing many different types of tasting glasses with commentary by moi and also by many leading tasters.

I do hope these articles add to the body of literature about rum tasting glasses and techniques.

Thanks for the compliments. Be sure to check out the Rum Review sites listed on the right. There are quite a few great rum reviewers out there.

I just ran into your site by accident while searching for something and I gotta say… its going to take me hours to read all this. This is the best website on the planet. I have been looking for a good rum review site for years and never seen one. I had given up looking a long time ago.
Most of what I have read so far is right on the money.
Keep it up. I’m hooked.
