i once found disposable ice bags, that you fill up with water, and it makes spherical cubes... albeit, kinda small and they come out misshapen a bit... so probably not ideal

For a couple of solid whiskey options, try the Swedish whiskey "Mackmyra"
And for a good American one, try Chatoe Rogue out of Oregon. Its good stuff.
Will try out both the Mackmyra and Chatoe Rogue, since your tastes have been tested and confirmed with the Macallan bottle. Haha

i had one of the lower tier macallan's when i was younger and wasn't a big fan. that was before i really got into single malts in general though.
in the past few months i picked up a few bottles that i've really enjoyed. my favorites were
ardbeg alligator. so smokey and peaty and ughhhh delicious.
bruichladdich octomore comus. crazy potent. this is a big, BIG scotch. powerful. makes you feel dangerous when you drink it. you pretty much NEED to toss a splash of water in it, but it does make it that much better.
bruichladdich port charlotte 9. the flavour in this is unbelievable. maybe my favorite scotch ever? it's incredible. if you can find it, i highly recommend it.
not a big rye drinking but i do enjoy bulleit or pretty much anything forty creek makes. i mentioned it before but the copper pot stuff is awesome. insane value too.
as far as bourbon goes i only started drinking it this year but im really digging what four roses brings to the table, especially their single batch and single barrel bottles. really reasonable too, price wise.
i think my favorite ive had though is booker's. it's a little pricey but good lord. fantastic stuff.

Ya, I was over in Ireland last month, and had me a grand ol' time tasting different Irish Whiskeys. A lot of them, you can only get IN Ireland, or online, so it was nice to sample the lot.
This bottle of Redbreast was especially delightful:
Picked up a couple bottles of Bushmills and Tyrconell's, Duty Free. Nothing quite like Irish Whiskey. Its got a finish all its own.

A buddy of mine got me into scotch, single malt. Never thought I could enjoy the stuff but after attending a couple of tastings I have come to appreciate it much more. I would definitely recommend trying a tasting if you haven't done it before. Whether it be with a true connoisseur, or just a bunch of friends all trying out each others favorite bottle, it's a great way to enjoy a glass of scotch.
I usually drink scotch straight, or with a drop or water for the stronger and peatier whiskies. I prefer the lighter ones, the Lasanta and Quinta Ruban from Glenmorangie are pretty good.
