What a $500 Bottle of Whiskey Deserves

The Dombey Glass

Some bottles aren’t meant to be rushed. A $500 bottle of whiskey is one of them.

Maybe it’s a gift from someone unforgettable. Maybe it’s been aging on your shelf, waiting for a milestone. Maybe it cost you more than you’d usually spend—but you knew the moment it touched your lips, it’d be worth it.

When that moment arrives, make it count. Let every detail feel intentional. And most importantly, serve it in a glass that honors what you’re about to pour.

Honor the Moment

The first pour of a rare whiskey should feel almost ceremonial.
Turn down the lights. Let the room get quiet.
This is about more than a drink—it’s about presence. A memory in the making.

The Right Glass Changes Everything

There are plenty of glasses out there. But most were made for bars, not milestones.

The Dombey Glass was made differently. Hand-blown in our New Orleans studio, every curve, weight, and rim has been refined to enhance how you experience fine spirits. It’s balanced in the hand, warm against the light, and purpose-built to elevate every sip.

No branding. No gimmicks. Just heirloom-quality craftsmanship that stands the test of time, just like the bottle you’re opening.

Savor, Don’t Rush

A whiskey this refined deserves attention. Pour just 1–2 ounces. Let it rest in the glass.
Notice how the aroma opens up with time. Sip slowly. Breathe between tastes. This is not the moment for ice or mixers—maybe a drop of water, if you must.

This is about honoring the years that went into that bottle… and the story you’re writing as you share it.

One Glass. A Thousand Stories.

We created the Dombey Glass for whiskey lovers who understand that how you drink matters just as much as what you drink.

This isn’t a bar cart accessory. It’s a piece you return to, again and again—on birthdays, quiet nights, anniversaries, and turning points. A glass that carries stories, just like the whiskey inside.
