Why It Matters Where Your Glass Comes From
A glass isn’t just a tool. It’s part of the experience. And like the whiskey itself, how it’s made—and who makes it—affects everything.
Made in the USA means:
Stricter quality control
Fair labor practices
Lower carbon footprint (shorter shipping distances)
Support for artists and small businesses
When you choose a whiskey glass made in America, you're investing in something authentic.
Mass-Produced vs. Handcrafted: What’s the Difference?
You can feel the difference instantly. Mass-produced glasses are often:
Machine-molded
Thin and fragile
Soulless and forgettable
Our glasses—each hand-blown in New Orleans—are:
Weighted just right for balance
Flame-polished for a smooth, tactile rim
One-of-a-kind, with natural variations that prove the human hand
We don't hide the marks of craftsmanship. We celebrate them.
Built to Last (and Be Remembered)
Longevity is one of the most underrated parts of great design. Our glasses aren’t designed for one season or one cocktail trend. They’re made to last decades—and maybe even be passed down.
We’ve seen our glasses given as wedding gifts, corporate thank-you’s, even memorial tributes. That kind of emotional permanence? You don’t get that from a factory mold.
Made by People Who Know and Love the Craft
Glassblower Ben isn’t a brand that licensed a factory overseas. We’re a real studio. Ben Dombey built our torches, designed our stamps, and still hand-makes every piece that leaves our door.
We know our suppliers. We design our tools. We care about the fire, the form, and the finish.
When you buy a whiskey glass from us, you’re getting more than a product—you’re getting a piece of the studio, a thread in a story, a future heirloom.

Final Pour
In a world full of shortcuts, buying American-made glassware is a choice to slow down. To support quality over quantity. To invest in something lasting.
