Enjoying a fine glass whiskey is a wonderful experience, from the smell to the taste, but the watered down taste from using ice to chill it, takes away from the overall enjoyment. There are now better more effective ways to chill any drink while avoiding dilution and they are called whiskey stones.
Whiskey stones are can be made of stone, glass, plastic or stainless steel. Previously soapstone whiskey rocks were the only alternative. Unfortunately due to the many health concerns stemming from using a rock to chill a drink and the cooling power being minimal, while still requiring over 4 hours of freezing time, whiskey drinkers were looking for a more effective way to chill their drink.
With advancements in technology there are now much more effective and safer ways to keep a drink cold without watering it down, but which ones work best?
Plastic, Rock or Glass - Not the Best Choices
Ice cubes made of plastic have various chemicals that are released when frozen or heated, that is why it is recommended never to drink from a water bottle that has been out in the sun or frozen, they also release a plastic taste and retain smells and tastes from other items surrounding them. Glass can break and cut. Soapstone whiskey rocks can crack, break cannot be used in the dishwasher and some say they have detected a smell from them. Also, they all require over 4 hours of freezing time.
Stainless Steel Whiskey Stones - The Safest and Most Effective Way to Chill a Fine Glass of Whiskey
Stainless steel has been used in the food and medical industries for decades, has natural anti bacterial, antitrust and is corrosion resistant. By all the laws of physics this is the best alternative, but it is important to know that if the whiskey stone is not made completely of stainless steel, it cannot offer the benefits listed above. Most stainless steel ice cubes are just stainless steel plated and these are not the ones recommended, because they can still rust and pieces can chip off.
"Great white Ice whiskey stones were developed using advanced Eco friendly technology. They contain a food grade chilling gel in their cores and only require 1-2 hours of freezing time. They are 1" (inch) in diameter and are made from a high grade pure stainless steel. The bigger size addresses the laws of physics, meaning that they can provide extra chilling time because of their larger size. They are rust proof, anti bacterial, will never corrode, will not retain smells or taste from other items surrounding them, can be used in any drink, are classified as food grade 1 and are dishwasher safe.
