Whiskey Stones or whiskey rocks are used as an alternative (not a replacement) for regular ice cubes. Typically made from stainless steel, soapstone, glass, plastic or marble. They are used to cool down a drink without diluting it. They are stored in the freezer, just like regular ice cubes, but, no matter what type you buy, they do not get as cold or last as long, as regular ice does. What they offer in return, is a chance to enjoy the true taste and smell of a fine product, without diluting it, while still cooling the drink. The length of time that they must be frozen for and how long they will last, will vary depending on they type you purchase.
Soapstone
Soapstone is a soft rock and can be scratched with a finger nail. Naturally created over time, it has been used for thousands of years as a carving medium. Some Native American Tribes still use it today to carve their own utensils, bowls, pipes and other items needed for everyday life.
Soapstone is sometimes used for counter tops and in the construction of fireplace surrounds and cladding on metal wood stoves. It is the preferred material for wood burning masonry heaters due to the fact that it stores, absorbs and radiates heat evenly. It has been used I as a carving medium for centuries in India, but unfortunately, mining it to meet the world wide global demand, is threatening the habitat of their tigers.
Previously, soapstone whiskey rocks were the only choice for anyone wanting to chill their whiskey and avoid diluting it. Unfortunately, there are continuous complaints about them. They are heavy, can crack and break, have to be frozen for over 4 hours before you can use them and they only provide a slight chill for a very short period of time. This has left many whiskey drinkers unhappy and longing for a more effective way to chill their drink, without diluting it.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is known as, corrosion resistance steel and because of its numerous benefits, has been use for decades in many different industries . Due to its antibacterial properties and its resistance to corrosion and staining, it is widely used in food storage industries and food processing plants. It is also used in the medical industries for instrument and equipment construction because it is easily cleaned and sterilized. Due to its durability, it is also commonly used in the construction of houses, planes, buildings, bridges and monuments, and is 100% environmentally friendly.
