teroforma -martini stones

These soapstone cubes from Teroforma have been around for a bit, but I never understood the draw of making your whisky colder. Further I would say adding a splash of water is a good idea to get the nose going. It is a cool idea no doubt. HOHO! You almost missed that pun... Apparently this is a take on a Scandinavian drinking tradition. Anyhow, just thought of a use I can really get behind; martini stones. Keep everything cold and no dilution. Just found this great video about The Vermont Soapstone Company in Perkins, VT that has benefited/survived due to this product. Have a look.

Received these as a gift. Even though I prefer ice - for the natural watering-down-effect, I tried it for a while. Disappointed, frankly. Just did not cool down the whisky at all. I was bummed because anything that can add to the ritual of whisky drinking is fun.
