Do you put water in your whiskey?

I found that anything above 86 proof is gonna have some bite to it, so a couple drops of water or a large ice cube really improves the flavor.

Honestly it's personal preference. I prefer drinking good bourbons neat. I definitely prefer ice in my Scotch and Japanese whiskey pours. I personally think everyone's palate is unique and my preference may seem like a sin to someone else 😄

Frozen water, yes

Depends on the whisky but generally a dash for my dram

A small cube of ice.

At 40-45%, no but cask strength yes.

For some, not for others. Barrel strength I am obv adding water. Delicate drams like blue label or oban 14 I don't bother since it doesn't need it. Most things in between I just add varying degrees of ice

If it’s a high quality whiskey, I drink it neat in a glencairn (I swear the glass makes such a difference)

If it’s not great, I put it in a cocktail. 🍹

On the rocks is my preferred

It really depends on the spicyness. Sometimes yes. Sometimes no.

I prefer cold club soda than ice for most scotch

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
