Not to sit here and throw stones, but I recently bought some whiskey stones after seeing them on Uncrate– one of my favorite shopping blogs- and now I’m a bit disappointed.
They certainly *look* good, don't they?
These soapstone cubes are meant to be placed in the freezer, then into your favorite glass of whiskey to give it a bit of a chill; the whole appeal is that they don’t contaminate the drink with tap water like real ice cubes would, which is a pain for purists who like their whiskey neat. Sure- these things don’t dilute the whiskey, but the company failed to mention that they don’t make the drink any colder, either.
I spent $20 on a set of nine of these sleek cubes (they look classy, I’ll give them that), but save yourself the money- and disappointment- and just use a chilled glass.
