Know before you buy
Unlike ice, these granite stones chill your spirit without melting, ensuring your drink maintains its original flavor profile and strength. They are designed to lower the temperature of your whiskey slightly without the dilution that occurs as ice cubes melt.
Yes, the stones are handcrafted and polished to be non-scratching. They are designed to be used safely with the included lead-free crystal glasses without causing damage.
Simply rinse the stones with warm water after each use and let them air dry before placing them back in the freezer. Because they are made of solid, food-grade granite, they are reusable and do not require any special detergents.
For the best results, place the granite stones in your freezer for at least four hours before use. This allows the stone to absorb enough cold to effectively chill your drink.
While the lead-free crystal is durable, we recommend hand-washing the glasses to maintain their clarity and prevent potential clouding or breakage over time. This ensures the premium finish remains pristine for years.
Absolutely. While they are optimized for whiskey and spirits, you can use the stones to chill any beverage, such as bourbon, scotch, or even white wine, without watering down the drink.
