@IainVH When you swirl the whisky in your glass, it kinda sticks to it, right? And then slowly beads start to slide down back into the drink, creating legs on the inside of the glass. It gives you some insight into the viscosity of the whisky (or any other type of alcoholic drink for that matter).
Sorry if I'm being a dim light bulb but would anyone be prepared to tell me what 'legs' means in the many reviews I'm reading on this site? Cheers.
