Curious, for scotch, are you all traditionalists, rock(s), or neat?

Depends on the pour. 40-46% I’m usually neat. Something with more oomph I’ll add a few drops to open it up. Makes a huge difference in profile.

Agreed , especially cask strength!

Always with a splash of water to open up the aromatics

Prefer neat, but depends on the scotch. Even a splash of cold water would be enough sometimes

I should clarify: by "traditionalist," I meant "with a small amount of water." Depending on the dram, I'm either a traditionalist or one small rock (very not traditional since it chills the whiskey in addition to add watering). Almost never neat. Sounds like y'all are mostly neat people.

I’m a very neat person!😂

Neat. Once in a blue moon I’ll put in a couple drops (and no more) of water to active some additional aroma.

Neat more often than not, but rocks for my Irish

like

Rocks. However, the amount of ice I use has dramatically decreased.

Depends on what I’m drinking, but I prefer neat

Rocks usually, unless it's abnormally expensive then neat

Neat, but use a frozen glass as I like it a little on the chilled side

Rocks if I’m out and drinking a few. I like Whiskey stones for the top shelf indulgence.

Traditional/neat

Neat normally but if it’s something new I’ll always try it with a few drops to see what opens up. If it’s summer or a particularly hot dram I’ll add a cube, but always on the side and only after tasting the way the distiller intended first.

Neat with a few drops of water to open it up

Traditional majority of the time. Neat on occasion. Rocks when out, not that that’s happened much this year.

Neat!
