What is whiskey on the rocks?
In short, it is whisky in a short glass over ice cubes. As an Australian, I can’t imagine why you would want to water down a good spirit. If you wish to cool down a spirit, consider Whiskey Stones.
What are whiskey stones?
These are a fantastic alternative to ice cubes. They are odorless and tasteless and chill your whiskey without diluting it. They are cut from soapstone, which is softer than granite, and won’t scratch your glasses. Whiskey Stones retain their temperature for much longer than ice—your drink will constantly be at the correct temperature without the risk of watering it down.
You see the name of the liquor spelled both as “whiskey” and “whisky?” No, it’s not due to a spelling error or typo. It is generally spelled “whiskey”—with an e—in the United States and Ireland. It is spelled “whisky”—without the e—in Scotland and Canada, which are both well known for their whisky, and in several other countries.
Since we are Aussies, we like to ‘Cooee’ to friends and say ‘have a whiskee with me’.
‘Cooee, Whiskee’
The smooth taste of the Australian country, flies and bulldust optional extras.
Why not try some whiskee for yourself?
