Our much-respected colleagues over at NotCot have been spending a bit of time with the people at Macallan recently.  During their visit, Macallan showed off a magical device that turns chunks of ice into perfect spheres— the Macallan Ice Ball Machine.  Using the force of gravity and the frictional-heating qualities of copper, this bar gadget creates ice spheres that become the perfect partner for whisky in your tumbler.  Insert a chunk of ice, slide the top half of the ice ball machine onto the ice and let it go to work.  Moments later, you’ve got a perfect sphere of ice for whisky on-the-rocks.  While this tech is the exclusive property of Macallan for the next few years, you can get your own for $180 over at JapanTrendShop.  Be sure to send us an ice sphere if you pick one up!  [more at notcot] View in gallery View in gallery
