    RE: Side issue how would you take your whisky.

    Depends on the Whisky....

    Jack Daniels with Coke.

    Some single malts on their own.

    with a splash of water, no ice.

    unless its bells / similar blends or american crap then its better applied externally for stain removal or summat

    As it is ... ANYTHING ELSE IS CRIMINAL

    Some highly skilled artisan has spent 15 years producing something ... and people want to stick ice or water in it!!!!! Drink blended *****, you'll never know the difference once you've ruined it by adding water. </p>

    It's like drawing a smile on the Mona Lisa because you think she'd look better happy!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

    Sorry, don't mean to shout, but you've hit a raw nerve there. I'm off for a lay down</p>

    as the experts would recommend

    I have been to several whisky distilleries and ofcause the obligatory tasting... what I was interestid in is that without exemption everyone advised a splash of water.. to, in their words explode the flavours and smells of the whisky...more than a splash will dilute the experience.... I always found the experts in this field to be quite right ice it is said will bruise the whisky .....anyone wishing to put lemonade or any other malt should be black listed, never to be offered the waters of life again...

    In the interest of this didcussion i have decide to try a wee dram.. I have here a minature from a little known distillery called Bladnoch.... I will empty 1/2 into a crystal glass alone and 1/2 in to a similar glass and add a splash...no more than a slash of a water..........await the result from the ....alchoholic jury...

    I must say the malt is beautifully smooth and just as i remembered it from last year...but without a doubt the sample with the splash of water is as if the glass has exploded with flavour and even smelling it is a wonderful thing in its self..... so to conclude my experiment....malt whisky with no more than a splash of water is recommended by most specialist and this piss ed from Dodworth...hic...

    I concur

    Splash of water, not too much, water of life (uisge beatha) - perfection!</p>

    In Oz I was drinking 330ml cans of Jim Beam and coke, ice cold, very refreshing (5% proof), but you can't call that whisky drinking, more like an alcopop.
