Sipping Stones - Set of 9 Grey Whisky Chilling Rocks in Gift Box with Muslin Carrying Pouch - Made of 100% Pure Soapstone

CUSTOMER REVIEW



These are a great idea... for the right person. They are cutely packaged in a book style set with a bag for containing them. Great as a stocking stuffer or small gift idea for someone who prefers their spirits straight. Also a unique conversation starter.



What they will do:

- Drop the temp of your drink by a few degrees

- Keep the drink from being diluted for slow sippers who don't want their drink watered down

- Allow for a reusable set of chilling stones that provide many reuses

- Keep an already chilled drink cool longer



What they won't do:

- Cool a drink to refrigerator temperatures (they just can't, it's a matter of physics)

- Keep a drink ice cold for long periods of time (meant to chill, not super-cool drinks)

- Scrape high quality glasses (soft stone, rounded corners mean little to no scuffing)... no promises on low grade glass



These will work for the intended purpose, which is to keep a chilled drink cool longer, or to add a slight chill to a drink. They can't possibly make a room temperature drink ice cold, because they just don't have the thermal mass to do so. But if kept in the freezer (in a cold spot, not on the door), they will work nicely for someone that absolutely must have their spirits straight. Many people are used to ice diluted drinks, and no, these cannot compete with the thermal mass of frozen water, but the trade off is, they won't dilute the drink either.



As long as you know what you're getting when you buy them, these are great. Just don't expect them to be something they're not.
