Globe Trotter Whiskey Decanter Review

In Glassware Reviews by Patrick "Pops" Garrett1 Comment

Way back in October, the folks at MoonRise Market reached out to see if we’d be interested in checking out their Globe Trotter whiskey decanter. We accepted their offer, and about a week later it arrived, and we excitedly opened up the box and took our first peek at the decanter.

Our first thought upon opening the box was that there was no way a full bottle of whiskey was going to fit into the decanter. It was much smaller than we anticipated so we sent an email to our contact at MoonRise and expressed our concern. They were quick to assure us that not only would it fit, but that it would have some room left over since the decanter’s actual volume is 850 ml.

  NORLAN WHISY GLASS REVIEW REVISITED: Find out what we think of the Norlan Whisky Glass since we first tried it four years ago in the Reviews Revisited segment of the Official Bourbon & Banter podcast.  Let’s get something out-of-the-way before we dive into our review of the Norlan whiskey glass.

I don’t personally find myself in need of a cocktail shaker very often but next time I do I’d like to have the Mason Jar Cocktail Shaker on hand. I came across this the other day on Kickstarter I knew I had to share with everyone on Bourbon & Banter. It’s such a simple and awesome idea it makes you wonder why no one came up with this before. Instead of wasting item reading details here, head on over to the Kickstarter project page and find out more. They’ve already blown past their goal of $5,000 so they’ve clearly struck …

Roller Rocks Glass

In Glassware Reviews by Patrick "Pops" Garrett6 Comments

Welcome to Wednesday, everyone! Just a quick product discovery to share with you all today. I hope you enjoy. The Roller Rocks Glass comes with its own silicone mold for making the perfect 2″ ice ball and has a protrusion in the bottle of the glass that allows you to swirl the ice ball around the inside of your glass. The effect is your bourbon gets chilled while others get hypnotized by the calm and gentle swirling motion. I’m a sucker for a cool ice mold and unique glass for drinking my bourbon. I might just grab one of these …
