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.

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

Soooo freaking cool!

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.

Who puts ice in good whisk(e)y … ?

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.

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.

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