really brings out the different oaks and scents
you swirl it around, then sniff and it def smells very different between each of them
but it's all ultimately preference

The other is the giant glob of glass on the bottom. Wine and whiskey tastes different at different temperatures, and sometimes you add ice (on the rocks). You hold the glass there, and your body heat isn't transferred (as much) to the beverage.

You use different glasses for alcohol purely for the presentation.
I am hardly a connoisseur, and even I can immediately tell how the shape and design of the glass affects the actual experience. In the case of whisky, features that isolate the heat of the hand from the drink, that concentrate aromas, that allow visual inspection of color, viscosity... these are all things that objectively improve the consistency of an experience that values evaluation, comparison, etc.
Having said that, I don't enjoy drinking from glencairns, except as a nod to tradition. They look great, and perform their function admirably, but I find them awkward to hold. I much prefer a more modern style [norlanglass.com], but I suppose they each have their own place.

Any way to purchase from the club without a membership?
Or a cheap way to get membership?
Thnx

OP's link is for Glencairns, which are more closely related to snifters, designed for drinking whiskey, and especially whisky, neat.
It's certainly not a necessity for anyone, but I enjoy having both on hand. Right tool for right job.
