Designed to showcase the unique flavours, aromas and colours of the world's finest bourbons, the Riedel Bourbon Glass makes the perfect home for The Small Batch Bourbon Collection® line of ultra-premium bourbons by Jim Beam Brands Co.

Previously, brandy snifters and scotch nosing glasses were used to taste bourbon, as the optimal glass for this spirit had never been developed.

Under the direction of George Riedel, three intense workshops were conducted comprised of the world's leading bourbon authorities to uncover the ultimate glass shape and style for tasting bourbon.

"A glass's shape and style have a profound effect on how the human palate will perceive the flavours of a fine spirit or wine," says George Riedel. "Bourbon was in need of a glass that would capture the spirit's complex characteristics and create the paramount tasting experience for bourbon connoisseurs and enthusiasts."

At the first workshop George Riedel and a panel of experts taste-tested five different bourbons in 14 glass shapes he had pre-selected. The experts evaluated each bourbon within the flight and ranked the glasses in order of preference. The panel selected three varying glass shapes as their favourites, of which only one was produced.
