Astor Men's Bar Crystal Whiskey Glass 2-Piece Set (Gift Box Collection)

In 1904, millionaire William Waldorf Astor opened the Hotel Astor in New York's Times Square, and with it, the hotel's legendary Men-Only Bar. This bar operated daily from 6 AM to 1 AM, staffed by no less than ten bartenders serving a roster of distinguished patrons, including Pierpont Morgan, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (better known as Mark Twain), Colonel William F. Cody (also known as "Buffalo Bill"), Vice President Charles Warren Fairbanks, Alfred E. Smith, John "Bet a Million" Gates, and Diamond Jim Brady. Actors, financiers, and industrial giants alike frequented this establishment, drawn by its fastidious attention to the quality of its drinks, which were served in whiskey glasses crafted from nearly 1-pound of crystal.

These crystal glasses conveyed an expression of conviviality, and the entire experience revolved around how one held them in the hand. Now, we are pleased to offer a Gift Box Set of 2 Hotel Astor "Men's Bar" Crystal Whiskey Glasses, true to the days when men were men, and women were glad of it. (Includes a bit of Hotel Astor history).

The premium Gift Box Set features 2 weighty, clubby, limited-edition Whiskey Glasses, inspired by the legendary Men's Bar at the Astor Hotel. Each assertive, meticulously-crafted glass enhances the presentation of the drink and raises its joyful, celebratory spirit. The artful cut-glass design makes a statement, optimizing visual aesthetics and illuminating the various hues of whiskey or cocktail, catching and reflecting light; the sculpted design actually adds a layer of insulation, keeping drinks cold from start to finish.

The wide mouth allows spirit and bitters aromatics to waft up to the nostrils, elevating the sensory sipping experience. Multipurpose and utilitarian, each glass is artisan-crafted in nearly 1-pound of lead-free crystal, feeling good in the hand and looking good on the bar. Perfect for spirits and cocktails, on the rocks, or neat, these crystal glasses are ideal for serving whiskey, bourbon, and rum.

Gifted with effortless sophistication, these glasses are perfect for celebrations - dinner parties, birthdays, engagement, wedding, housewarming, anniversaries. Measuring 4-inches in height, 3-1/2-inch top diameter, and 9 ounces in volume capacity, they are dishwasher safe and durable, less prone to breaking from thermal shock. Unconditional 100% Quality and Satisfaction Guarantee.

Since 1997, History Company has specialized in extraordinary products inspired by history and authenticity, where 'Every Gift Holds a Story,' and where you are sure to find the perfect item for any occasion. As mixologists and bartenders move towards using one large ice cube or sphere to create a better drinking experience, ice in this glass makes a bolder statement than a bunch of small cubes.
