Simon Pearce Benson Bourbon Glass

The solid spherical base is weighted to provide a stable foundation despite the glass's angular silhouette. It sits securely on flat surfaces, though it is designed to be a stationary vessel rather than one meant for frequent handling.

Yes, the 8 oz capacity and wide bowl make it an excellent choice for any spirit served neat, such as scotch, rye, or an after-dinner digestif. Its shape is specifically intended to allow the aromatics of complex spirits to open up.

Because these pieces are handmade using traditional glassblowing techniques, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap. This preserves the clarity of the glass and prevents potential damage from high-heat dishwasher cycles.

No, each Benson Bourbon Glass is individually crafted, meaning there may be subtle variations in the glass or the exact placement of the spherical base. These slight differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and make each piece unique.

The angular silhouette is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, offering a distinct tactile experience compared to traditional rounded tumblers. The weight of the solid base provides a balanced feel when lifting the glass.
