The Buck Stops with Harry Truman's Classic Bourbon Glass.

"I don't much care for for your law," said Harry Truman, "but, bygolly, this bourbon is good." Both sides of Harry Truman’s family came from Kentucky, the birthplace of bourbon. So his love for the spirit should come as no surprise. The straight-talking Midwesterner was an unabashed bourbon fan, for years beginning most days with a dram of Old Grand-Dad or Wild Turkey and a power walk. Besides his morning constitutional, Truman usually enjoyed his bourbon with water or with ginger ale.

Spirited gifts were frequently bestowed on Truman, and the list of presents that the White House received in 1951 included a set of these bold yet dignified glasses.  The wide mouth is designed to enhance flavor profiles and sipping experience, and a sturdy base handles muddled drinks.  For generous pours of liquor with plenty room for ice.

Pour yourself two fingers of the good stuff, and offer a toast to The Man from Independence. Gift Box Set of 2 includes "The Gentleman's Guide to Bourbon."

Perfect High-Quality Glasses for Old Fashions

I have been looking for quality bar glasses for Old Fashions, and I finally found them! The History Company Harry Truman "Kentucky Bourbon" glasses are perfect! The size and weighted bottom make all the difference, and the style is classic. Other glasses I looked at were too narrow for the big ice cube, the sides were too thin, did not hold enough ounces, and had very little weight on the bottom. Even the glasses from a high-end cooking and accessories store (W-S) are not as beautiful or weighted as these, and are more expensive. Time will tell how well they hold up, but my initial impressions are that they will last forever.

Happy with these glasses

I like these glasses. Their weighty enough for a good balance when filled and large enough for a solid hold in your hand. I love the history behind them which gives a nice talking point when sitting with friends. Exceptionally packaged and protected. I can emphatically recommend these. Only the one photo because all the ones already on here sum it up pretty well.

Quality glass

I received many compliments from just having these on display. We drink only on occasion but these have been well worth the asking price just for the compliments they have drawn. I like the balanced feel they have to them both empty and half full.
