Given that you likely have a fair number of whiskey tasting glasses in your drinking cabinet, here’s some more to know about the Libbey one to help sort it out from the rest. The glasses are made of clear, colorless glass and measure about 3 7/8 inches tall. The glasses have one of three logos laser-etched on the bottom of the glass: “Kentucky Bourbon Trail,” “Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tours” or “SIV”.
It is said consumers should stop using the glasses immediately and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
