The right glass for fine whisk(e)y?

I celebrated my birthday the other night with friends, dinner, and drinking some finely aged whisk(e)y from Ireland and Scotland. They varied in age from a few years to 12 and 15 years, but were all superb spirits. The whisk(e)ys were served neat in a few different glasses: rocks glass, a snifter, and a mini tulip.

The proprietor of the restaurant stopped by our table to check on us and serve up the final drink in the mini tulip. Upon noticing that I was earlier served whisk(e)y in a snifter, she informed me that they reserve those to "play a joke on someone," and she looked puzzled and unhappy about it, claiming, "They ruin the whisk(e)y".

What are people's opinions on what glass to drink a fine whisk(e)y from? Do you have some articles, or facts to back up your opinion?
