How do you chill your favorite spirits just a touch without diluting their perfectly balanced flavors? Whisky Stones are made in Vermont from natural soapstone, by the craftsmen of the oldest soapstone workshop in the United States. The stones are nonporous, and will impart neither flavor nor odor. More gentle than ice, Whisky Stones can be used to cool down your favorite spirits just enough to take the edge off without "closing down" the flavors. Store them in the freezer for at least 4 hours before use. Add 3 stones to a glass. Pour until liquid has reached the height of 1 stone (about 2 fl oz). Rinse and air dry following every use, storing in the freezer for next time. Do not chew or ingest. Not intended as an ice substitute, or for use with large volumes of liquid. Natural soapstone is classified "Generally Regarded As Safe" (GRAS) by the US FDA. It will not react with household solvents such as water, alcohols, detergents or mild acids. Composed primarily of talc, soapstone will not inadvertently scratch glass, and is particularly effective at retaining temperature for extended periods of time. Glass not included.
