Big scoop for cool Whisky!


Yamazaki Single Malt, from Japanese distiller Suntory, is one of the world's finest whiskies, so it should come as no surprise that the company's found a better way to drink it: spheres of ice, two inches in diameter. The cubes don't melt as fast as our inferior American versions, so they keep the drink at an optimum temperature longer without watering it down (as much). In Japan, apprentice bartenders in high-end joints must learn to carve them by hand, but MoMA's making it easier for stateside mixologists. The store just got in a shipment of plastic molds, available for the first time in the U.S.only for now, which make a pretty good facsimile. You need a bottle of Yamazaki to appreciate the full effect, though. Trust us, we practiced. A lot.
