The Austrian company Riedel is the manufacturer of fine stemware. It 
has designed its glasses to complement specific wine varietals or 
spirits (e.g. single malt, bourbon, martini). http://www.riedel.com has 
more information along with a short treatise on the taste centers of 
the human tongue.  I've been to wine tastings where the guests consumed 
the same wine from both a bar wineglass and a Riedel wineglass.  And 
I've done the same test at home on single malts.  In both cases the 
Riedel contents were tastier than those from generic containers - like 
Leica lenses produce better images than, say, Sigma.

As to the D.C. Lagavullin shortage, Laphroaig maybe?
