Today's Soupe du Jour: Whiskey Lover Set

Charles And Marie


Whiskey Lover Set

You know that we are the greatest fans of the Ice Stones – those perfect little rocks that naturally cool your drink down. If you've purchased them before, you'll also know that they come in a great gift box. Well, today we'll up the ante a bit and bring you what we think is the perfect gift that will get any discerning whiskey lover excited! It's a set of Ice Stones plus 2 amazingly gorgeous glasses that compliment each other and it's all in one lovely box!

Let's stick with the glasses for a moment, shall we? These two tumblers perfectly follow each others outline and they are a stunning example of what happens when you introduce a 29 year old Norwegian designer to a 58 year old Czech master glassblower? A perfect mix of craft and tradition. Playfully mixing positive and negative space in complementary shapes, designer Thea Mehl worked alongside master blower Antonín Toman to connect her sense of imagination to his sense of craftsmanship. The results feel distinctive, yet somehow familiar. Made entirely by hand from non-lead crystal, the tumblers are dishwasher safe.

And now for the Ice Stones: Ice Stones are made in Vermont from natural soapstone, by the craftsmen of the oldest soapstone workshop in the United States. The stones are nonporous, and will impart neither flavor nor odor. Much more gentle than ice, Ice Stones are used to cool down your favorite spirit just enough to take the edge off without "closing down" the flavors. And it's as easy as pie: place them in the freezer for at least 4 hours before use. Add 3 stones to a glass. Pour until liquid has reached the height of 1 stone. Let stand for 5 minutes. Sit back and enjoy. Absolutely lovely! Once you are done, rinse and air dry the stones and back in the freezer they go, ready to be deployed again.

The set of the 2 tumblers and the 9 stones comes packaged in a lovely gift box - making them a perfect gift for every discerning spirit lover. Whether it's Whiskey or small batch Vodka - the set will make everyone happy!
