On The Rocks Whiskey Stones - Set of 9 Review.
"Great Product -- BUT know what they are for" 2009-12-16
By Whiskey Lover (WDC)
A quick primer because the other reviewer seems confused. These are NOT ice cubes. They have one very specific purpose, putting a SLIGHT chill on straight whiskey to allow some of the flavors to open up and take some of the edge off the Bourbon/Scotch. Hence there is no reason for a child to be using them. Additionally as for hitting them your teeth, again these are not ice cubes and if you are chugging your whiskey, well good on yah mate but these is not for you.
My girlfriend bought me these because I like to enjoy a Bourbon after work. After putting 3 stones in a glass and waiting, the stones put a slight chill on the Bourbon. They didn't cool the whiskey down so much as to subdue the flavor. It just chilled it some to take the edge the off and made a very pleasant drink, not watered down. I recommend this if you have someone who enjoys a good glass whiskey straight.
Very happy with them!

They are perfect for what they claim...taking the edge off the whiskey. I use them with single malt scotch with a splash and it takes it to a new level of enjoyment. If you're a poser or a rookie you won't appreciate them. For those that are worried about their teeth, go back to your wine coolers. A good whiskey is to be sipped, often, and treated with respect.

My husband is a whiskey enthusiast and he LOVES these whiskey stones. They do just what they're supposed to by gently chilling the whiskey without watering it down. Cheers!

I am really impressed with these whisky stones. I've used them for whisky, with great success, but I also use them for water, soda, and juice. I had a glass of soda, which I left on the counter after drinking the soda. I came back to the glass the next day, and the stones were still cold! I'd recommend them for anyone seeking to cool down a drink with out watering it down, but I also think these are great to have on hand in lieu of regular ice! We don't have an automatic ice maker, so it is nice to have a few on hand when we have to wait for the freshly-made ice to fully freeze. Great product!

This product it's excelent... but only buy it if you know how to drink whiskey or you are going to give it to someone that does. Don't expect the cold effect of ice... whiskey it's not suppose to be drank COLD, just chilled... and those that really like whiskey... don't like the water addition of other cooling mehtods!
