On The Rocks

WHISKEY STONES & GIFT SET


Skip the ice; Serve your drinks on the rocks.

These innovative soapstone cubes were designed by Andrew Hellman, a big fan of single malt scotch, who wanted to chill his spirits without diluting them. After much research, he came up with the idea of using natural soapstone to chill drinks due to its softness (won't scratch the glass) and its unique ability to retain temperature for extended periods of time. Milled in Perkinsville, Vermont by the oldest soapstone workshop in the United States.

Simply chill the stones. Add three to your next drink, let stand for five minutes and enjoy. Sold as a set of nine.

Want to upgrade your gift to top shelf? We recommend the gift set, which includes a set of six Whiskey Stones and two elegant sipping glasses (pictured). The wide mouth and short profile make the glasses the ideal choice for small quantities of high-quality whiskey. Polished by hand using a Japanese optical lens compound.

Why should I use Whiskey Stones instead of ice?

Comments about WHISKY STONES<SUP>TM</SUP> & GIFT SET:

These are a waste of [$] [...] The first time I tried them, I followed the directions by putting 3 stones in a whiskey glass, and only the bottom of the glass got cold. I tried them again and poured a shot of whiskey over all 9 stones. Once again, the glass got cold but not the whiskey. I might as well have sipped it from the bottle.

I bought these to put away for my husband for his birthday in August. I wanted them for Christmas, but they were sold out everywhere! I was so excited when they came because I know he will love them. Great idea for those who like their drinks chilled but not watered down.

Does not cool...
By BC Survivor from Grapevine, Texas on 2/3/2010
Gift:
No
Pros:
Attractive Design, Unique
Describe Yourself:
Midrange Shopper
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about WHISKY STONES<SUP>TM</SUP> & GIFT SET:

Bought these for me and my boss to use to drink scotch. Cool idea but they did not cool the scotch. We like our scotch a little cool. Ended up taking rocks out and using ice.

Probably if the rocks were colder - out of a metal rather than stone would work better.
