Whiskey Stones

Whiskey stones solve a small, specific, genuinely annoying problem. Ice melts, and by the third sip a good pour tastes like water. Chilled soapstone or steel drops the temperature without touching the flavour. Put his initials on the set and it stops being barware and becomes the thing he pulls out when someone worth the good bottle comes over. Free personalization, engraved in house, ships in 1 to 2 business days.

How to Choose a Whiskey Stones Set

There are really only three decisions, and the first one changes how the drink actually tastes.

Soapstone or steel. Soapstone is the classic. It holds cold well, stays silent in the glass, and will not scratch crystal. Stainless steel chills harder and faster but clinks. Most of our sets, including the Engraved Whiskey Stones at $29.99, are the quieter stone version.

Stones alone, or stones with glass. Stones on their own are a good thirty dollar gift. Add a glass and it reads as a proper present without much more money. The Personalized Chilled By Design Whiskey Glass at $34.99 is the middle ground.

How far you want to take it. At the top end the stones become one part of a set. The Whiskey Stones Decanter Gift Set at $74.99 and the Gentleman's Whiskey Gift Set with Personalized Decanter at $99.99 both build the whole thing around them.

How Much Should You Spend on Whiskey Stones?

Stones sit between $30 and $100. The number moves with how much glass and packaging comes with them, not with the stones themselves.

Who Are You Shopping For?

A whiskey drinker who is particular about it. He already knows what stones are and probably resents watery whiskey more than most people. Engraved soapstone is a safe bet because it does not interfere with what he is drinking.

Someone just getting into it. Stones plus a glass is the better starting gift, because it gives him the whole ritual rather than one accessory. Add something from Personalized Whiskey Glasses if you want to build it yourself.

A groomsman or a best man. The Golden Groomsmen Gift Set at $69.99 handles it, and stones engrave well in multiples because nobody needs a size.

A bourbon guy specifically. Bourbon drinkers tend to care more about dilution than scotch drinkers do, which makes stones an easy call. Bourbon Gifts has the barrels and decanters to go with them.
