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."
