I received a set of whiskey stones for xmas. They are probably okay for keeping something chilled, but they don't chill a drink down as fast as ice. I actually prefer my bourbon and water at room temp anyway.

I feel like this is a nice math problem and all, but it overlooks the question of whether or not a given whiskey should be chilled at all (if optimum flavor is a goal).

In fairness, it doesn't overlook that. I'm trying to compare spherical ice vs cubes or whatever. The determination that ice is preferred has already been made by the person adding the ice. The only thing we're trying to figure now is the best shape for the ice.
