storing your "stones" in liquid nitrogen sounds like a Chuck Norris joke
How much you can bring the temperature down is mostly about the total heat the cold substance can take out of the warmer whisky before thermal equilibrium is reached. I suspect that any heat loss through evaporation is negligible and the difference made by diluting even less. The real determining factors are the mass and specific heat of the cold stuff plus in the case of the ice the latent heat of fusion. I am still trying to avoid actually looking up numbers and doing calculations but the liquid nitrogen was a bit of an over statement. As Scott said over the range from the ice box to equilibrium temperature heat of fusion is going to be the dominant factor. Even without it though there aren't many things with a higher specific heat water either. I should really have been thinking about specific heat times density to get the heat for equal volumes of ice and stone as opposed to equal mass though. I would guess water still has the edge but they're on the same order of magnitude. Without looking it up I would guess Scott's stone or some specialized glass or ceramic would be a better choice of material than miami's stainless steel. Not knowing for sure is what may eventually drive me to looking up the actual numbers. Back when I was in college and had a Swede for a roommate we always had a bottle of aquavit in the freezer and generally a few shot glasses as well just to keep that much colder. I'm kind of a cube man myself but I would think a small glass with thin walls and a thick bottom might be just as good a thing for the purist to keep in the freezer as anything else. Nerd Sniping

I got some of those "whiskey stones" that are in the freezer right now, but... I usually like the slight dilution an ice cube gives me, plus the chill... the melting takes out more heat than simply warming the stones... that is, a little ice chills better than a lot of rock. IME.

that's funny some folks enjoy bourbon or scotch at room temp or with an ice cube for the purist that wants to chill, try stainless steel "ice" cubes

The more exotic, the more "scotchy" they seem to become. I had some higher-end Pappy at Christmas and it's remarkably not much at all like your standard bourbon. Still bourbon, but with so much more going on. Our last two bourbons have been Trader Joe's... at $15 it's a great mixer but it's also fine neat. Not complex but very reminiscent of Woodford, altho I think it's probably closer to Buffalo Trace, but I've only had that once or twice... edit: No selfie-control

I'm partial to Russell's Reserve but really the only thing drinkable and affordable here is Wild Turkey (affordable being relative - it's still $40). I usually make an Old Fashioned (a real one - not one of those Wisconsin things) or a Sazarac.
