I am Johnny Lee
Whiskey is more than a drink—it’s an experience, a connection, and a story in a glass. I’m Johnny Lee, founder of WhiskeyGlasses.com and a longtime whiskey enthusiast with a passion for the small details that make a big difference. My journey started with simple moments, like watching Lost in Translation and seeing Bill Murray’s quiet struggle to savor a 17-year Suntory from an ornate glass. It was in those small but meaningful scenes—and in my grandmother’s occasional pour into her fine crystal glasses—that my appreciation for whiskey culture began to grow.
For me, a finely crafted whiskey glass isn’t just a vessel; it’s a tool that transforms the way we experience whiskey. It lets us savor the complexities—the deep amber hues, the way the light catches the legs of a sherry-cask-aged scotch, or the sturdy weight in your hand as you take in the aroma of a well-aged rye. It’s this attention to detail that fuels my passion: finding the perfect glass to frame the beauty of every pour.
But whiskey is more than just taste and aroma; it’s about the moments. I’ve always been drawn to the sophistication of a black-and-white noir film, where the weight of a sturdy-bottomed tumbler slamming onto the bar could say more than words. It’s about connection—the kind you feel when you sip, reflect, and share stories. Those are the experiences I hope to create and celebrate with every glass I share here.
So whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just discovering the world of whiskey, I invite you to explore the craftsmanship, tradition, and elegance of this timeless spirit with me. Together, we’ll elevate your whiskey journey, one sip and one story at a time. Cheers!
