figured. I haven't seen them in stores.

If that is the purpose, why not just chill the whiskey?

Just out of curiosity, what's the point? Looks cool or provides less surface area for the amount of ice in your drink to keep from diluting it?
doesnt melt like regular ice. i dont use them all the time. nice if you want something real cold though

God I love this board. I may be stocking my humidor and drinking Makers all night tonight.

You may want to give Makers 46 a shot if you like the original. It's not my favorite but I'm not a big fan of the original either.

proven wrong by science. I still like it because it looks bad arse.

At any rate, the articles promoting big ice cubes always say they’re superior because they have a low surface area per unit mass. Since melting occurs at the surface of the cube, the low surface area is said to reduce melting and prevent your drink from getting as watered-down as it would if you used the same mass of smaller cubes. The writers of these articles seldom invoke the square-cube law explicitly, but that’s what they’re talking about. In some cases, they go beyond just saying that big cubes melt slower and also claim that they do so while cooling your drink just as much. These claims should be looked upon with a gimlet eye, because the cubes’ melting is what does the cooling.
No question, some of the cooling comes from raising the temperature of the ice from below freezing up to the melting point. But that’s small beer. The specific heat of ice (0.50 cal/g-K) is only about half that of water (and about equal to that of ethanol), so raising the temperature of ice does little to lower the temperature of your drink. The significant cooling comes from ice’s heat of fusion, which is a whopping 80 cal/g. This is what pulls heat out of your drink and lowers its temperature.
Stay thirsty my friend

I dont care what science says.. if i want a real cold glass but dont want it to dilute too much i use a sphere. that sphere melts slower than 3 regular size ice cubes

Also doesn't cool it down as fast. Either way, I use the frick out of my sphere's.

In a wedding tonight. I'll be busting out some bourbon before. Either Elmer T Lee or Jefferson Very Small Very Old Batch. MAYBE a glass of Jefferson Presidential Select

I got the King Cube ice trays as well.
Prime member? Hell yeah, this is a no brainer. Thanks

I have some 4 Roses Single Barrel, tried it for the first time last week. Maybe it's because I've been drinking Buffalo Trace Distillery brands almost exclusively for the past 18 months, but I really didn't care for the 4 Roses.

I love Four Roses Single Barrel. May add that to my list for tonight as well.
And I have the ice molds you linked. I love them. Just looks cool

Pretty much everything I drink comes from Buffalo Trace or Four Roses. Both of the Four Roses mash bills contain alot of Rye (20% and 35%). If you dont like Rye, that may be why you didnt like Four Roses. Keep in mind they also have 10 different recipes consisting of their 2 mash bills and 5 proprietary yeast strains. I like some more than others...
The 2 Rye mash bills Buffalo Trace uses are 10% and 12-15%...
