Scotch definitely is not the liquor that changes "the most" with water or ice, a lot of American whiskeys open up just as much if not more.

Could you suggest some of these (bourbons or Americans that open up well)? I don't have a lot of experience w/ bourbon/rye, but mostly when I water them like I would a single malt they just seem to dilute, rather than opening up more. Current fav's in this area are EHTaylor small batch, and the cask strengths from Wild Turkey and Knob Creek.
