Know before you buy
Unlike ice, these granite stones chill your drink without melting, which prevents dilution and preserves the integrity of your whiskey's flavor profile. They are ideal for those who prefer to enjoy their spirits at a cool, consistent temperature without the water content.
No, the glasses and the granite stones should be hand-washed only. We recommend using a mild detergent and warm water to maintain the clarity of the crystal and the quality of the stones.
For the best results, place the granite stones in your freezer for at least four hours before use. This ensures they are sufficiently chilled to lower the temperature of your spirit effectively.
Yes, these stones are suitable for any spirit you wish to chill without dilution, such as bourbon, scotch, or even high-end tequila. They are designed specifically for spirits rather than carbonated or mixed drinks.
The Monarch glass is crafted from heavy, durable Eco Crystal designed to withstand the weight of the stones. However, we recommend placing the stones into the glass gently before pouring your spirit to avoid any potential impact damage.
The Monarch glass has a capacity of 11.5 ounces (340ml), which provides ample room for a standard pour and the included stones, while still allowing enough space to swirl the liquid and release its aromas.
