What Are Whiskey Stones?<\/h1>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

Whiskey stones are small pieces of stone that chill your drink without diluting it, allowing you to enjoy your whiskey without any changes to its delicate flavour and aroma. So if you’re a whiskey connoisseur who appreciates the finer things in life, these stones are a must-have for your home bar.<\/p>\n

The purpose of whiskey stones is to add a touch of class and sophistication to your drinking experience. Not only do they keep your drink perfectly chilled, but they also give you the power to control the temperature of your whiskey to your exact preference. So, whether you like your whiskey just a touch below room temperature or ice cold, whiskey stones have got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

How Do Whiskey Stones Work?<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n

So how do whiskey stones work? Time for the science bit. The science behind whiskey stones lies in their ability to absorb heat from the whiskey, which allows them to cool the whiskey without diluting it like ice would. When whiskey stones are chilled in the freezer, they become cold which can then cool down the whiskey once you\u2019ve popped them in by absorbing heat from the whiskey and giving you the perfectly chilled glass to savour and enjoy. Cool, huh?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whiskey stones are a fantastic replacement for ice when you prefer your whiskey flavour profile to remain intact without any dilution, but let\u2019s just say you\u2019re someone who likes a little dilution that the ice can bring, but you prefer your whiskey to be on the cooler side and feel like you\u2019re rushing to enjoy your whiskey at the temperature you like without having the rest of the ice dilute the flavour too much. Well, that\u2019s where whiskey stones come in. Simply place the number of ice cubes you like that will dilute the whiskey to (your chosen) perfection and top it off with the number of whiskey stones you need to bring it down to the right temperature\u2014it\u2019s the perfect solution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

What Are Whiskey Stones Made Of?<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n

The main types available are made from marble, soapstone, granite and stainless steel. They can come in varying sizes and shapes, either with sharp edges, soft edges or if it\u2019s stainless-steel whiskey stones, they usually come in balls of steel.<\/p>\n

Natural stones such as marble or soapstone are a fantastic solution because they are not only nonporous, meaning they won’t absorb any unwanted flavours or aromas, but they are also great at retaining cold temperatures. In other words, they are the perfect addition to any tipple.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

How Do You Clean Whiskey Stones?<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
\n

Just use some warm water and a soft cloth to give them a gentle scrub, then let them air dry before popping them back in the freezer for their next round of duty. Stainless steel and granite stones can handle the dishwasher, but marble and soapstone are best washed by hand to avoid any mishaps.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n
