Whether you are mixing a cocktail or drinking your bourbon or rye whiskey straight up or with ice, the well-sized bulb of this elegant glass will allow for full oxygenation of the spirit while the rounded closure of the lip brings a concentration of aroma and flavor to the nose and palate. That simple inward curve at the lip changes everything! Higher proof bourbons will benefit greatly from the opportunity to ‘soften’ with a few swirls of the hand cupped around this comfortable glass, bringing air into the spirit with each swirl. Add a dash of water to the higher proof and cask-strength whiskeys to truly ‘open the nose’ and taste.
Small-batch, handcrafted bourbons will show off flavor complexity and give you the most delicious experience possible through the design components of this glass. An especially satisfying flavor experience will be had by those who leave out the ice and gently warm the spirit by cupping the glass in their hands for several minutes before imbibing. Treat these artisan spirits like you would a fine cognac. Bourbons and rye whiskeys are rich in complexity and should always be experienced in a glass that enhances taste, aroma, mouthfeel, and smoothness. This glass is designed to encourage the best from any whiskey. Of course, enjoying the ultimate Manhattan or any other bourbon or rye-inspired cocktail is a perfect match for this well-sized, comfortably held glass.
