Know before you buy
Granite stones chill your whiskey without the melting process, ensuring your spirit remains at its original proof and flavor profile. Unlike ice, they provide a gentle chill rather than an icy cold temperature, which is ideal for sipping complex whiskies.
The unique shape of the nosing glass is designed to concentrate the aromas of the spirit toward the nose. By narrowing at the top, it traps the volatile compounds, allowing you to better detect the subtle notes and nuances of your whiskey.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing the crystal nosing glass with mild soap and rinsing the granite stones with warm water to maintain their integrity and finish.
The jigger allows for precise measurement of your pours, which is essential when sampling different whiskies or crafting cocktails. It ensures consistency so you can accurately compare the characteristics of various spirits.
Yes, for the best results, place the granite stones in your freezer for at least four hours before use. Once chilled, they will effectively lower the temperature of your drink without the dilution caused by melting ice.
