I know that the shape of the glass has a lot to do with the aroma, but there is something about drinking a nice scotch or bourbon in a waterford tumbler that enhances the experience for me. I just have to shove my nose down in it more often. I also like the snifters, which do a better job of concentrating the aromas.

As for adding lots of ice to scotch to open it up, I think you're just diluting it and numbing your taste buds. I can see a drop or two of water, but to each his own...
