The Reserve Set

Nicely presented, good gift

Purchased this as a Christmas gift for a close friend who enjoys Whiskeys and Bourbons. He absolutely loved it! It comes beautifully packaged and sealed. The stones are brilliant (I bought hubby some last year, same brand different set) and they chill your drink nicely as you would expect them to! All in all, highly recommend!

Lovely boxed gift

Good for value

It’s a nice set, and If I was receiving it as a present, I would be chuffed!As far as wow factor goes, it does a stand-up job. The black and gold box looks attractive the stones on its little tray and the nicely sized glass, all very nice.I have no Idea what eco-crystal glass is but I’m going to attempt to break it down, for my own purposes. The eco is presumably how clean the production was, although they’re must have been a quarry involved for the rocks and I’m guessing they must have chopped down a tree for the wooden stand, I’m not an eco maniac but would love to here about how eco friendly it is, if this is the selling point.The glass itself does not strike me as being crystal as in it being lead formed crystal, I think it’s just a glass and they refer to the cut of it rather that it being actually a lead crystal glass. Again, it’s not a deal breaker, the glass is really quite nice.Then there’s the waisted opportunity to add a coaster, it would have been a nice touch, a little granitecoaster, but no, just some bits of wood advertising their product. As a top tip though if you wantsome granite or marble coasters for your whiskey glasses, go to a stone tile website and ask forsome samples, marble is my favourite, they will easily send you half a dozen, all cut to coaster sizesome companies even supply little felt bottoms for the samples and it’s absolutely free.And finally, the box. It’s nice packaging, but like all packaging it will eventually be discarded. It wouldHave been better to set this all in a wooden box, may as well go all the way if you’re presenting aWhisky glass like this.Don’t let me detract from what is a lovely gift, and at a bargain price. I would be tickled pink to getsuch a gift, I just wanted to highlight these little points.

This set from ROCKS comes with whiskey chilling stones and an elegantly crafted European style crystal whiskey glass which are designed to enhance the natural and rich taste of the whiskey.The stones are fast-cooling and non-diluting solid granite stones which are perfect to use in cooling your drink without adding water to it. Each rock has a natural and unique, solid, and premium granite stone design to make these stones stand out beautifully. This one has round edges which is well-crafted to avoid your glass and even your hands from scratching.Moving on to the whiskey glass, it is an eco-crystal glass which is an ultra-clear crystal glass that is produced with electric furnaces. This glass is based in Europe that produces exceptional and high-quality glass. The glass is made of pure raw materials which are ethically sourced and resistant to breakage. It has a stylish and sophisticated design for you to have intimate whiskey tasting nights.I love how the set is beautifully placed into a very classy and luxurious looking gift box. The box is mostly black with gold accent designs and lining, and once you open it, you will be seeing well-cushioned 6 handcrafted granite stones, crystal whiskey glass, a hardwood presentation and storage tray. I must say that this set is beautifully designed. The items are aesthetically pleasing to the eyes especially the whiskey glass with its unique and masculine design. It is thick and just the right size for me to hold it comfortably while drinking. The stones are very cold when chilled and really make my drink cold and still rich in flavour.One of the good things about this set is that you don’t have to be a whiskey drinker for you to enjoy this sophisticated set, you can also use this for cocktails or just regular drinks. For its price, I think this would make a really great birthday or Christmas present. Happy to recommend this!

Five stars for flavour, you ask? Well it's five stars for absolutely lack of flavour - the whisky stones didn't affect the taste of my malt at all. Probably a better gift for the occasional whisky (that's whisky - no "e" unless you're talking about Irish or American stuff) drinker than a serious malt man. The tumbler is fine for whisky and ice, but no match for a tulip shaped Glencairn glass. The stones themselves are a bit of a gimmick, but the do what they say they will - keep whisky cold without diluting it.
