How To Choose The Best Whiskey Stones Gift Set

http://www.amazon.com/Signature-Stone... Signature Whiskey Stones by Chilled Creations Now Available on Amazon Whiskey Rocks Available in Gift Set Chilled Creations has launched their brand of whiskey stones, available for purchase on Amazon.com. Made from 100% natural, non-porous Soapstone, the cubes are designed to chill alcoholic beverages such as whiskey and other spirits. As their popularity has increased in recent years, whiskey stones are purported to chill the popular beverage without affecting its taste. The rationale behind this is that they offer an alternative to whiskey drinkers who might have a problem with ice melting and 'watering' down the taste of the drink. But how do these stones work and what are they made of? Whiskey stones are made from Soapstone, a soft rock consisting mainly of talc. This type of rock has been used for many years, its earliest uses going back to the Stone Age when it was used to make pots, bowls and other utensils. Back then, it was popular due to its ability to absorb heat and radiate it slowly, a feature which also made it suitable for also making molds used to cast metals. Today, it is popular in the making of kitchen countertops, wall and floor tiles, bowls and plates, and of course...whiskey rocks, among other things. In using it for this purpose, its relationship to temperature is reversed. This means that it absorbs cold after being stored in the freezer for several hours and then releases this coldness slowly when added to whiskey and other beverages. Three or more stones (cubes) are usually added to a drink of whiskey to make it several degrees colder. The Signature Whiskey Stones from Chilled Creations is packaged in a boxed, gift set and includes a carrying bag or pouch which is also what is used to store the stones in the freezer. Despite being natural rock, the owners claim that whiskey rocks will not scratch high quality glass due to it being a soft rock. Also, because it is non-porous, does not absorb the liquor or leave any aftertaste in the drink. The set contains nine, cubed stones which are recommended to be frozen for several hours before using. Chilled Creations' Signature Whiskey Stones, having been released on Amazon, are being promoted as gift ideas. Packaged in a gift box, they are being touted as suitable for Father's Day gifts. http://www.amazon.com/Signature-Stone...
