Members takeout Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 No ice, just a tiny splash of ice-cold water. It sweetens it. The Scots do it, it's good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HORSE Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 neat. I don't like to water down my single malts. I'll put an ice cube in a glass of J&B though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireball_73 Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 The glen of tranquility. That malt is older than my cat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members D Aussie Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 Stop fucking around with half arsed scotches if you like the taste, and just get this one. You wont be dissapointed. However, to answer the question, with a single ice cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireball_73 Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 Oh I have american relatives staying over at the moment. One of them carries 2 hipflasks full of whiskey, I don't know which type though. You can get ASDA smartprice whiskey that is cheaper than bacardi breezers (A.K.A "poofjuice" in Scotland).

Members lokidecat Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 depends. sometimes I'll keep my scotch in the freezer and then drink it neat. but too cold sometimes it loses it's flavor completely and just becomes vapors. I will either drop one ice cube, or drink it neat. I don't like it too watered down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 Neat. I want to taste the scotch. Same with good bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassguy Posted July 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 i love the taste of it, i just hate the initial overpowering taste/feel that you get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beam Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 IMO, ice is a horrible thing to do to good Scotch. Neat, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members james on bass Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 A fine scotch like that? Neat. Any other way is sacrilige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted July 11, 2006 CMS Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Neat, on the rocks, with some cold water. I don't care. The stuff doesn't stay in the glass long enough to say hello to the sides, let alone any other visitors..... I love Scotch, and good Kentucky bourbon. I'm also a fan of Harvey's Bristol Cream. I'm told that I took my first steps for a sip of this, many (many) years ago. Obviously in the days before political correctness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassguy Posted July 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 well i finnished a bottle, it was only a small one, so im not drunk...lol i still cant stand the immeadiate taste of scotch, i like the after taste, kinda peachy-oakey, but the tastefeel is painfull..but i guess ill get used to it... what should i try next? i was thinking wild turkey, or perhaps picking up some conac or burbon...

Members DingoBlues Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 for Talisker! Neat or a tiny splash of spring water if its a cask-strength malt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members abstract Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 i drink my scotch with mucho ice and lotsa water. i typically put about a jigger of scotch in a rocks glass, fill with ice, top with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bleepo Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 I can't stand glenfiddich. It's one step above Johnny red for me. I had a taste of Johnny blue a while back. That was incredible. Almost made me want to buy a whole bottle. (at $218 cdn) Currently i'm drinking Johnny black, which isn't great either. But i bought the bottle.... Neat for the good stuff, splash of cold water for the cheap stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Narcosynthesis Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 I had to finally look up wiki to discover exactly what scotch was (other than some form of whiskey or other) Whiskey made in Scotland Admittedly people here never refer to it as scotch, either as whiskey or by brand...

David Actually, it's whisky without the 'e'. Whiskey is reserved for any non-scottish whiskey, with the exception of Canadian whisky, if I'm not very much mistaken.

Members Johnny Duart Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Drink it!!!!!!! Hell no!! I put it in my gas tank 'cause it's cheaper than gas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LanEvo Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Originally posted by D Aussie Stop {censored}ing around with half arsed scotches if you like the taste, and just get this one.+1 on the Talisker. I also love Glenmorangie and Balvenie. Not a fan of the "double wood" type products these guys sell...but the regular ones are great. And Macallan 12 is always a safe bet. Originally posted by bleepo I can't stand glenfiddich. It's one step above Johnny red for me.Glenfiddich is swill. Practically undrinkable. Originally posted by bleepo Neat for the good stuff, splash of cold water for the cheap stuff.Yeah, I know you're "supposed" to add some ice or a splash of water...that this is how the Scots drink it...yadda yadda. But I prefer the taste of single malt when it's straight. I agree with DingoBlues about cask strength being smoother on the rocks, though.
