After I give my kid a bath, I walk into the kitchen and grab one of my favorite tumblers to pour myself some bourbon. I have tried a bunch of different glassware over the years, but I find myself grabbing for one specific glass time and time again.

It’s the Yeti Lowball Tumbler.

I’m not one of those people who like a brand “just for the hell of it” – I’m someone who tries different products until I find the perfect one for the job.

Wondering why I love this glass so much? Let me give you just a few reasons!

Reason 1 – It Keeps Things Cold

I’m a person who likes to drink my bourbon on the rocks, so the Yeti Tumbler is my perfect bourbon cup. I find the ice doesn’t melt as fast and I can enjoy my bourbon over a few hours instead of 30 minutes. And it doesn’t get watered down.

If you leave it overnight (by accident of falling asleep in my chair), it will actually still have ice in the morning.

Reason 2 – No Sweating and Water On My Side Table

I always hate when I have a tumbler made of glass and it leaves a puddle on my side table. I always use a coaster, but my shirt ends up all wet as the glass drips with condensation.

That’s another reason I love the Yeti Tumbler. It doesn’t sweat and there isn’t a puddle when I’m all said and done.

Reason 3 – It Has A Lid

I’m pretty sure the bugs in my house and outside have really good taste in bourbon. They always seem to find their way into my drink.

The lid takes care of this problem.

It also makes it nice just in case my kid knocks over my glass or if I am wanting to take the tumbler on a walk.

Reason 4 – Color Coding Has Perks

I’m a person who likes to share my bourbon and that means you have a lot of glasses full of yumminess at one time. When I had a matching set of glasses, this meant that you had to keep your glass in your hand at all times.

Not with my Yeti Tumblers.

I have 5 different colors of tumblers and I make sure to use the different colors when I have people over to share. The last time this happened is pictured below and we had all 5 glasses in use.

Reason 5 – No Weird Flavoring

I was a little skeptical at first when I bought my tumbler. I was worried it would have a weird metallic taste when I put my bourbon into it. I have found this isn’t the case.

I have used my cups for years and I have never found a metallic taste while I was drinking.

Reason 6 – Covert Drinking

There may have been times in my life where I have decided to take a drink on a walk around my neighborhood. Instead of carrying a glass around the neighborhood, I can throw a lid on my cup and no one is the wiser.

Reason 7 – It Doesn’t Break

Drinking bourbon might lead to an accidental slight of hand and a glass might be headed to the ground for a shattering ending.

That doesn’t happen with a Yeti Tumbler.

Drop it on the floor and you might get a new dent, but that’s about it. It might be a party foul, but at least you won’t cut your foot on glass.

Conclusion

When it comes to the perfect glass for your bourbon, it’s going to come down to your personal preferences and budget range. In my opinion, there is a clear winner and that’s the Yeti 10oz Lowball Tumbler. It won’t break, keeps my bourbon ice cold, has a lid, and helps me keep my bourbon straight when I have a crowd.

If you haven’t considered getting one, you might want to do it.

What’s your favorite glass? I would love to hear and possibly try something new.
