Balls of Steel™ are far from regular steel Balls.

The special grade is a unique in it's resistance to the elements even at extreme temperatures. This provides the non-toxic ability which you will not get anywhere else.
Balls of Steel or B.O.S., are two stainless steel drink chillers designed to chill your low volume drinks.

Remove them from the freezer and immediately and gently place them in your beverage. Slowly turn your glass to an angle and let the steel balls roll around the bottom. Before you drink any of your beverage remove the balls and enjoy a perfectly chilled beverage with out the steel balls in the drink. Balls of Steel must be removed before consuming any beverage.

Whiskeys have incredibly complexed flavor, the difficulty lies in the relationship between preserving the subtle flavor elements while chilling to a enjoyable temperature. Using B.O.S. provides boosted flavors, and creates a truly unique experience. The enjoyable experience is made possible by the perfect drop in temperature and preservation of subtle flavors which ice normally destroys. B.O.S. also do not collect freezer odors like some Whiskey Rocks on the market and lastly are versatile for many types of drinks.
Some Whiskey connoisseurs enjoy their whiskeys with a bit a water, and some believe that it will "open up the flavor". The unfortunate method most novices use for the "bit of water" is ice. While using ice to add a bit of water is ok for the first 1min, it will start to melt rapidly and your control of the amount of water will be lost. On average, ice need 6 mins to bring your drink to it's maximum cool, by the time your whiskey is actually chilled it is now too watered down and the flavor is indeed diluted. Balls of Steel will cool your drink instantaneously and offer you full control over the amount of water you enjoy in your drink so you can get back to the people and things you love.

SAFTEY:

What good are drink coolers if they are toxic? We required the services of the FDA (the USA based Food and Drug Administration) who has approved certain stainless steels, a variation of steels has been approved for use with medical, food, and beverage. There are optional safety regulations for each application, however, we have shot to the moon and used a specialized stainless steel in the 300 series. This specialized BOS steel is known for being incredibly resistant from out side effects which could cause corrosion and will remain non-toxic in extreme temperatures. Please review links below:
  • Food safety
  • FDA Food Contact Notifications
  • You should clean your Balls of Steel by hand washing them with cool water and soap. Finally, hand dry them back to their shiny perfection. Please avoid washing your Balls over a sink, Original BOS LLC recommends washing them in a glass away from any drains.
    No, Balls of Steel are intended to be used only by adults. At OriginalBOS LLC we do not support underage usage on this product and the whiskey chiller should not be used which small children are present. Please keep Balls of Steel AWAY from small children as there is a choking hazard.
    We recommend being gentle with your balls. Throwing them around while hoping that they land into a glass is not advised (These balls are made of Stainless Steel and with high velocity can damage tangible objects). Balls of Steel are safe for many types of glasses, but not all types. It's up to you to pre-determine if B.O.S. is safe for you're glasses. For best use purchase set of Tritan® Classic Whiskey Tumbler.
