Common Questions About Ancient Rocks Prehistoric Whiskey Stones

• How do Ancient Rocks Prehistoric Whiskey Stones work compared to regular ice?

  Unlike traditional ice cubes that melt and dilute your drink as they cool, these dense gneiss stones absorb and gently diffuse ambient heat from your liquor, keeping it at an ideal, refreshing sipping temperature without watering down complex flavors or aromas.

• Will these stones scratch my expensive glassware?

  While gneiss is a hard metamorphic rock, the cubes are carefully tumbled and shaped with smooth edges specifically designed to rest gently at the bottom of standard whiskey glasses and lowball tumblers without scratching them.

• How many stones should I use per glass?

  For an optimal chill on a standard 2-ounce pour of whiskey or bourbon, using 2 to 3 frozen stones in your glass provides the ideal balance of temperature reduction and flavor preservation.
