One of the scotch all-stars gifted me with a "scotch-tasting glass" called the Glencairn Scotch Glass. Glencairn is a large, high-end crystal company in the UK.

The Highland Park website has a good discussion of legs here. The document is titled "How to Nose and Taste." Other (more thorough) commentary on the Glencairn glass is here. A picture of the glass follows:
