I have a larger one in my bar and holy shit what an attraction best if u use clear ice and it gets old after a while.
Long story short learn to carve your own way cooler and more personal for the guest

WOW! that is so interesting. Love the photos that were taken :)

I have accses to the cnc machine and I see a “Goverment Job” in my future. As for Icing good whiskey at least they used a sphere which would allow for the least amount of melt off due to reduced surface area. I like my scotch with just a little water. Swirl and dump just the right amount to open it up.

I saw one of these in action at a Macallan tasting event in Toronto. I’m a firm believer that one should never put ice in a fine single malt, but if you do like you scotch on the rocks, this is the way to do it.

Who puts ice in good whisk(e)y … ?

The plastic molds are a lot cheaper ($15 or less), and even though there’s sometimes a little seam, the ice looks almost as good.

Soooo freaking cool!

Very cool device, you can get your own from here:

A little dramatic but well shot.

Reportedly sitting at about a $1000 a piece(Copper is about +/- $3.50 a pound right now) if you could find a place to buy one. If it is purely done through gravity you could probably make one of these if you had access to a CNC machine or similar tools.

I have to say I really really dig your photos …. the attention to details is awsome!!!!!!
