Maybe I should make a microwavable coozie to gently warm brandies?
I jest, but indeed listening to all feedback!

Whisk(e)y was the motivation for the glasses, but honestly I think they’re best classified as “Small Pour” glasses. Meaning that if you’re drinking something that you typically pour less than 3 ounces of at a time, this glass will probably work somewhere between the range of nice to excellent.
I personally use them for anything from mezcal to amaro to sherry, and partners use them for interesting use cases like neat cocktails, drinking vinegar, schnapps, and beer flights.
TLDR: Ya, probably will work with cordial! Keep me updated if you use them for that!
They work well for Sauternes too.
Yup! Any late harvest, botrytis, passerillage.
Opened a nice bottle last night…
[IMG_1434 copy] I just popped a 1982 Moulin Touchais. Some of the fruit is picked before it’s ripe for acidity, while about 80% is picked very late, often with botrytis and passerilage. They only release wine after a decade too, which is interesting. The 1982 is noted as having less sugar than 85, but it doesn’t feel like it. It’s very plump and the raisining elements really push it towards PX territory. There’s a lot of width to the flavor profile but it doesn’t stick quite as long as I’d li…
The orders are coming in but y’all are quiet today.
Let’s get the conversation going and start sending out some juice! I’ll pick your samples from my personal stash and send them in 2oz Boston Rounds.

Very kind of you, Bryan! I’m a big fan of the stemware already and am looking forward to using these travel cases.

Very kind of you, Bryan!
Oh no, thank you! Really happy you’re a fan of the stems.
1-scotch, 2-bourbon
Yes, boss.
Ordered 2, excited to try them!
Welcome to the club. Cannot wait for you to try them out!
I pulled the trigger on the 4-glass set. I expect these to make my cheap whiskey taste like Pappy.

it might not make it taste like 20 year old pappy, but you’ll enjoy drinking your cheap whisky more that you’ll be tipsy enough to believe it tastes like 20 year old pappy.
Well this is awesome! My preferences off the cuff:
1 - scotch
2 - brandy
3 - rye
4 - mezcal
5 - bourbon
6 - rum

I think I’m going to have heartily disagree with Charlie here… THEY WILL MAKE YOUR CHEAP WHISKY TASTE EVEN BETTER THAN PAPPY!!**
**The statement is made under the understanding that “better” is a subjective term and 100% dependent on the drinker’s personal preferences. In the case of Bennuaine, this is what we believe and kindly disagree with any differences of opinion you may have (unless they are 100% complimentary)
Order in for 2 stems (though I agree with Michael that a base with essentially no stem like the Riedel whisky glass seems like it would be very cool as well). Looking forward to checking this out!
Ranking preferences:
bourbon
scotch
cordials/amaro/etc.
rum
rye
mezcal (tequila would have pushed higher up)
I ordered 2 glasses for my bourbon. Thank you.
Most excellent! Order coming up.
Appreciate the order!
As for the request of stemless, I’m definitely listening… Admittedly, I am a bit stubborn, and it’s a bit like an Edna says “No Capes!” situation, but if people keep asking…
