Affordable + Good = Approachable, Both in The Bourbons We Drink + Our Glassware

10/28/2022

“Affordable” and “Good” are two words that we like a lot when it comes to bourbon. So, when we came across this article on Uproxx “Affordable *And* Good Bourbon Whiskey, Blind Tasted And Ranked” by author Zach Johnston, we were all in. Nothing better than to find a new, under-appreciated bourbon that may have not yet have made it to our tasting radar screen. Likewise, its also good to know that there are others who may be aligned with their own high regard for some of our existing favorites.

And when it comes to finding a great glass to serve your bourbon in, we’ve got a few whiskey glasses that we think are very “approachable”, as well. And, like bourbons that are both “Affordable and Good” our whiskey glasses will perform all their stated duties more than admirably, while still leaving you with enough money to buy another bottle of your favorite bourbon.

Our 6.5 oz. Nosing Glass checks a lot of the boxes when it comes to finding a great whiskey glass without breaking the bank.

Our Nosing Glass makes a great holiday gift idea for your favorite whiskey lover.

One of those approachable whiskey glasses is our Nosing Glass. It’s tulip-shaped chimney is broad enough to let plenty of air mix in with your bourbon while still focusing all the intensity of the aromas directly to your nose. And, speaking of noses – the opening of our Nosing Glass is slightly larger than many other bourbon glasses, allowing noses of all sizes and shapes to enjoy the full flavor profile of the latest from Loretto.

And, who knows, the next time you’re passing through Loretto, you may just see a few of our very “approachable” Nosing Glasses being used.

Affordable + Good = Approachable for us. We think you may agree.
