It's simple.

A) you can do what you want in order to APPRECIATE it
B) a good scotch should have no more than one ice cube or a similar amount of water applied. If it is older than 12 years, drink it straight. If it is older than you are, thank the provider, God, your spouse/parents/children/best friends and drink it straight
C) drink it straight
D) if it is crappy, don't drink it
E) if you just want to get drunk, then do whatever but don't get on a high horse.

enjoy!

How do I drink Whiskey? Maybe an ice cube, maybe a little distilled water depending on the whiskey. Maybe neat, depends on my mood......and if I'm smoking a cigar or not. I have a theory, if you need to put cola in it, you need to find a better whiskey......period.

Try it with club soda or even Coke if it's that bad, gradually add more liquor and less mixer until you're drinking it straight and can appreciate it!

Cognac, straight. In a nice bulb. There was a trend when it was dying on its ass where the makers tried to get the frogs to drink it with mixers. Cognac Schweppes couldn't be a more disgusting combination. A nice XO warmed by the hand does me.

Regardless of what you are drinking in terms of whiskey... you need to know what the alcohol content is/cask strength etc... If its moderate to low you should drink it straight at room temp. The only time water should be used/or ice is if the content is high as your taste buds become numb and you lose a lot of the flavor.

In terms of my favorites... its all relative to price.

Irish Whiskey, my favorite is Red Breast... and for Scotch, Aberlour 12 is great for the money... if you have a little extra cash nab a bottle of A'Bunadh

Islay whisky is fantastic stuff!! I have to be in the mood for it, but I will admit its great!

If anyone here wants to really give a friend a treat, dont tell them you are serving an islay whisky, just pour it and watch them...
