So, we all have shot glasses to pick up from Dan's (from http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/116779).

Why not pick up some free Cool Rocks / Whisky Rocks with a second order? Great for neat spirits, summer wines or secret santa gifts.

    Wanted to get some of these a while ago but never wanted to pay $10 for them. Cheers mate.

  • superforever on 18/09/2013 - 21:10

    Comment said no good for soft drink, I will skip.

    • kingsville on 18/09/2013 - 21:28

      Really? I read the comment as good for soft drinks because you don't lose the fizz

      • superforever on 18/09/2013 - 22:02

        ", but if like me you drink whisky and coke, you put a rock in, it takes every bit of the fizz out of the coke and makes it taste awful, so no good at all for cooling down soft drinks"

        Did I read it wrong?

    Thanks for posting, I was due for a new bottle of Canadian Club anyway so this is a nice freebie

  • sol3x on 18/09/2013 - 21:52

    Could you guys recommend any good whisky/spirit that is around $30 mark? entry level for me :)

    • kristijan08 on 18/09/2013 - 21:58

      Do you want whisky or any other spirit? Or a spirit similar to a whiskey? Planning to mix or drink on the rocks?

        i think drink on the rocks :)
        I saw DanM has this Teacher's Sctoch, Dewar's White Label Scotch Whisky, The Famous Grouse Scotch Whisky and Canadian Club Whisky.

        They all seem to have good reviews.

          Okay .. but try not to judge a any spirit (particularly whiskey) on a $30 budget if you're going to put it on the rocks!

          I had a look but turns out I don't really know much about whiskey cause nothing jumps out at me. Can recommend other stuff though, particularly bourbon, vodka or abstract liqueurs

          God no they all suck.
          Go an Irish Whiskey - a little lighter, smoother, and sweeter than most scotches. Great for beginners.
          Jameson/Tullamore are both <$40.
          If choosing scotch you MUST know where its coming from, as the different regions have very different flavours.
          The Bushmills Black Bush is my go-to day-to-day whiskey, one of my favourite blends. But it's $47.

        • sol3x on 18/09/2013 - 23:01

          Thanks guys. what about Dubliner Irish Whiskey?

        • theguyrules on 18/09/2013 - 23:05

          I hated Dewar's White Label personally. For close to $30, Ballantine's Scotch Whiskey is my favourite.

        • static on 18/09/2013 - 23:10

          The decent blends start between $30-$40 like Bailie Nicol Jarvie or T.S.S. 12 Year Old. Good entrant scotchs before you start spending money on the more expensive single malts.

          I never spend more than $40 on blended scotch, it's not too far from that to decent entrant single malts which are usually much better.

        • frondono on 18/09/2013 - 23:23

          if you want something thats very nice get the bushmills 10yo. you pay a little extra but you wouldn't want to touch any of that crap again. i've just graduated to a bottle of glenfiddich 18yo and chivas 18yo, with the prices of duty free in singapore i couldnt resist ($100 1l chivas, $75 1l glenfidich)

    • DrStinge on 18/09/2013 - 22:24

      If you can splurge the extra $12, Jameson is my favourite (prices go up and down from $38 - $42). Goes really nice with lime + coke.

    Thanks OP. Was to buy Chivas Regal Bottle for $45 with previous deal, but for some reason the code in previous deal was working for delivery order only.
    This one work fine for pick up order. Also added , Becks imported for $37. Seems like a good price.

    Have a set of these; they are ok quality.. make sure to wash them first before freezing, if frozen first then washed they lose their chill Very quickly. Also make sure to handle with care, they chip very easy when dropped.

  • Dealayed on 18/09/2013 - 22:57

    So if you like your whiskey on the rocks without it being diluted by the melted ice.. Why don't you just keep the whiskey in the fridge!!!
    PS: sorry I'm a beer drinker

    • EnALup on 18/09/2013 - 23:02

      Never tried that. Though I put Vodka in the freezer as it has very low freezing point and does not freeze. I hope Whisky can be put in fridge.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/09/2013 - 23:12

      You lose flavour keeping it in the fridge. Much better 'on the rocks'

    • static on 18/09/2013 - 23:15

      Yeah I never understood that, you could also chill the glass as well. I am a Whisky drinker but I prefer to have it at room temp.

  • theguyrules on 18/09/2013 - 23:06

    I have some of these and honestly I find them useless, very barely cools them down.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/09/2013 - 23:11

      You are freezing them right?

      • theguyrules on 18/09/2013 - 23:50

        Obviously. Seriously, they don't do much at all.

        • rekabkram on 19/09/2013 - 00:13

          I don't see how mate, they do the same thing as ice but without the downside of over watering down your drink.

          If you want a touch of water in your whisky then add it at the start and it'll be far more consistent than if you had thrown some ice in. The only reason I can think of that the stones aren't cooling down your drink as much as ice does is volume. If you normally put in 3 ice cubes that are 3 times the size of a whisky stone then you would need to put in 9 whisky stones to have the same effect.

          Aside from that the only downsides of the stones are;
          - They could damage your glass so no using the fine crystal whisky tumblers.
          - They could damage your teeth so you need to be careful not to throw your drink back too fast.
          - They could be hazardous to your health if you normally chew on your ice once you've had your drink, not to mention if they were accidentally swallowed.
          - Keep them away from kids!

        • theguyrules on 19/09/2013 - 00:24
          +1

          My experience with them:

          -Had them in my freezer a few days
          -poured a bit of room temp whiskey into a glass
          -put 3 whiskey stones in
          -waited a few minutes

          absolute coldest it got was maybe 5 degrees colder.

        • Infraction on 19/09/2013 - 00:32

          I'm afraid they don't do anywhere near the same thing as ice.. the temperature transfer is neglible in comparison, even if you compensate for the volume and use all your rocks at once. For a dollar give them a shot but don't expect much more than a slightly cooler drink.

        • SteveAndBelle on 19/09/2013 - 07:02

          I have a couple of packs from the last time they were on OzBargain and although they definitely DO work they're nowhere near as effective as ice cubes so don't expect them to work the same way. They are a great talking point though and hey for a buck they're definitely a bargain… even just as a stocking stuffer!

        • Maz78 on 19/09/2013 - 09:22

          3 is too few. I have these and normally lump 5 - 6 in there with my scotch and a tiny drop of water. Works perfect.

          +1

          You are right. It makes sense from a physics point of view. Cool rocks will absorb less energy to reach the same temperature as your drink compared to icecubes because ice is converted to water, and that process uses more energy. Ice water at 0 degress has more latent energy than ice at 0 degress.

      Sorry to hear, I must've been one of the lucky ones. I haven't been to pick it up yet but I've had my confirmation SMS that its ready to be picked up. I assume there's no issues since I haven't been told of any.

    Got my bag and rocks last Thurs, but had to endure a rant about how it was:
    1. Only sent to customers who hadn't ordered online for over 2 years and
    2. Only valid for spirit purchases, not $1 bags.

    They still honoured it after pulling my order out from a folder full of bags and rocks invoices
