snifter
Cognac drinking vessel
A snifter is a short-stemmed glass with a wide bottom and narrow top, designed for swirling and warming brandy or cognac in the palm.
The shape concentrates aromas toward the nose.
By extension, a snifter can mean a small drink of liquor: Join me for a snifter before dinner.
