BenShot
Appleton, Wisconsin
About BenShot
The very giftable shot glasses from BenShot are made at a re-purposed furniture factory in rural Wisconsin that once was owned by Thomas Edison. The brand specializes in making shot glasses with objects embedded into the side, and clientele includes everyone from the FBI to the NHL. Of note: BenShot won a four-year legal battle in October against a company that made a similarly designed shot glass in China and advertised it as Made in the USA. The jury awarded BenShot $3 million in damages.
