Paragon Stainless Steel Whiske

The Paragon Stainless Steel Whiske is a piece of barware from Esplanda, not a spirit. Its name points to stainless steel construction and a whiskey-drinking use. Because the listing doesn't give dimensions, capacity or exact form, check the product photos for the shape and size before you buy. Stainless steel is a practical material for drinkware and bar accessories. It doesn't absorb or add flavor, so it won't mask the aroma of a neat pour or leave residue from one drink to the next. It is also durable and does not chip or shatter like glass. Steel conducts temperature quickly, so an item that has been chilled in the freezer will cool a drink without the dilution that melting ice causes. Pieces like this are usually rinsed in cool water after use and dried promptly to keep the finish clean. Pair it with a whiskey you like to sip: a bourbon, rye, Scotch or Irish pour served neat or with a splash of water. The same approach works for stirred drinks such as an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan, where a cold, low-dilution drink matters. For nosing a complex spirit, a tulip-shaped glass or a rocks glass is still a good choice alongside steel accessories.
