About
WHAT WE DO
The Salty Stache is a US Veteran-owned glassware company specializing in deep, hand-etched glasses with American values in mind. We proudly design and etch our USA-made glasses in Kansas City.
All our glassware is deep sand-etched — a process that creates lasting, bold designs that are actually cut into the glass and not just marked on the surface. Just like the tattoo you woke up with years ago, it’s not coming off.
OUR MISSION
At the Salty Stache, our mission is to create unique glassware designs that double as conversation starters. Quality is a top priority at The Salty Stache, which is why we don’t settle for glass from overseas where you never know what's in it. We support American manufacturing because we are American manufacturing.
OUR BEGINNINGS
The idea for The Salty Stache started in 2024 with the goal of solving the ol’ “Which glass is mine?” roulette at social gatherings. After being medically retired from the US Navy and struggling to find purpose in corporate America, our founder decided to pour himself (pun most definitely intended) into a venture that could combine his passions with his entrepreneurial spirit... and fine spirits. Thus, The Salty Stache officially opened its doors in 2025.
The Spent Glass line - and those that have launched since - aim to solve that problem. With cohesive themes - yet unique designs on each - it’s easy to keep track of your glass and avoid your battle buddy’s backwash.
Each collection is designed to spark stories, celebrate shared passions, and honor the camaraderie that comes from meaningful conversations over quality drinks.
So, whether you're introducing a friend to a new whiskey, toasting a milestone, or simply enjoying the company of people you connect with, our glassware is built to be part of those moments and built to last. We're here for those who understand that the best experiences in life—freedom, friendship, and a perfectly crafted drink—are meant to be shared.
