Learning how to drink whiskey is a simple yet very intricate art form much like learning how to taste wine, beer and other forms of alcohol. The world of whiskey and scotch is marred with terms like grains, malts, distillation, barley, rye, cask, oak, age and some such. Let's ignore all the jargon for now and focus simply on the different popular ways to drink whiskey. For all you wannabe whiskey connoisseurs and whiskey fans, here is How to Drink Whiskey Lesson
- Have you ever had guest just "pop in" only to realize that you have no cold drinks to offer them and you forgot to fill the ice cube tray? I have, very embarrassing!
- Have you ever put a dirty ice cube in your drink? I have, totally disgusting!
- Have you ever had to throw away your drink because it had gotten too watered down and was no longer enjoyable? I have, what a waste!
Drinking whiskey with ice aka On The Rocks
We've always seen the images of an action movie hero coming back home after a tough days work of banging up the villains and treating himself to a nice glass of whiskey on the rocks. The only amateur mistake that you must watch out for is to never pour the whiskey before you put the ice cubes in your glass.
- Fill your glass halfway or to the brim with ice cubes and gently pour the whiskey in it
- Pour a small amount of whiskey
- Don't leave your glass away for too long else the ice will melt and dilute your whiskey
- Warm palms can contribute to ice melting faster – So leave your whiskey glass on a table or another flat surface while you are not sipping it
What is a Whiskey Stone?
First of all it is important to understand what their purpose is. Whiskey stones or whiskey rocks, were originally created for whisky drinkers, to use as a substitute for ice cubes. Although they do not get as cold as regular ice cubes, their purpose is to keep your whisky cool without diluting it. They are typically made of rock or stainless steel, but there are some also made of glass. They are kept in the freezer, just like regular ice cubes, but the amount of time they must be in there before usage, will depend on what type you are using.

As you can see in the picture above, the soapstone whiskey rocks are smaller, looks cool and are able to get much colder and only require 2-3 hours of freezing time.
