Product Description
For this set of shot glasses, we take advantage of the same physical principles that make our Whisky Stones so effective at chilling - we just do it in reverse, cooling from the outside in, rather than from the inside out. As always, soapstone is non-porous and will not trap flavor or odor from one use to the next. Store in the freezer for a super-cold shot or out in the open for simply a super-cool look.

A Different Way to Sip Scotch or other Hard Liquors, With a Bit of a Chill
December 8, 2012
I'm a purist when it comes to fine liquors: I don't like to water them down with water/ice and so drink them neat. That said, I don't "do shots." I like to savor mine. These soapstone shot glasses are good for both purposes, however, whether you like to sip or throw it back. I store them in the freezer to give the alcohol a little chill.
Each "glass" has a 2 ounce capacity, the equivalent of two shots. They are made of soapstone-- a smooth, nonporous material that can freeze without cracking and that doesn't absorb flavor so that each shot (after washing) tastes pure. Right out of the freezer, they don't stick to skin; they also feel cold but not frozen. Don't expect these glasses to substitute for ice. They chill the liquor a little, but don't make it cold.
I notice that the product photograph shows a bottle of sake, and that's funny because that's what I thought these were before I saw the photograph: sake glasses. They have that simple, earthy design that sake glasses often have, unlike the usual Western crystal for whiskeys. I suspect that they've been re-labeled for American drinking habits. If these were really designed as sake glasses, then they should take warmed liquor as well, although I wouldn't recommend pouring warm sake into a frozen shot.
These make a great gift for the liquor-purist who has (most) everything.
