Looking for suggestions, with a cube is the only way I know.

If it's a single malt that's at least 12 years old take it neat. Don't screw it up with ice or water.
|
|
Glenlivet 12 year.. its strong. Im used to drinking crown with a swirl of coke.
|
|
Neat is the only way.
I am not a fan of any hard liquor, but even I know that there's no point in adulterating whiskey. |
|
Pour it in a glass. Drink it.
GL By the way, it was a silly question. It's not very difficult to experiment! |
|
Fella im sure there are some things I know a whole lot about that you dont - but a smart man is willing to ask questions when he just doesnt know

In Decatur last night I enjoyed it at first on the rocks. Then room temp, then back to the rocks. The poker game got too intense....couldn't get more ice for a while!
|
|
I like it with a cube or 2.
My favorites include an 18yr Macallan, and my "normal" scotch would be Glenmorangie, I like the Madiera finish, think it's a 12yr old. |
|
Scotch is a little smoother for my tastes. |
|
|
Good Scotch has to be straight up! (or with a small splash of H2O)
Tonight I think I'll try some MaCallan Fine Oak 10 & Bowmore 17. |
|
I just got 2 bottles for my birthday. A 12 year old Johnnie Walker Black label and a 18 year old Glenlivet. I am enjoying them slowly, but always straight up.

Single malt , 2 fingers in a 8oz Rocks glass
with a single full size ice cube |
|
What he said. God I could use some right now. Too bad it is contraband in Iraq |
|
|
+ a bunch. I don't think the blended Scotch has been made that's fit for human consumption, and few of the single malts are any more enjoyable than a glass of burnt dirt. |
|
|
Single malt. A cube or two or straight up but I like something to chase it down with if no ice.
|
|
neat or with a splash of spring water, scottish spring water if you can find it, it is usually a little eartheyer i have even had some that was peaty.
|

|
|
There you go. |
|
|
Balvenie, 21 year old port wood, two ice cubes, three fingers...
|
|
For me just a splash of water. The water actually unlocks some flavors hidden in Scotch.
This is what I have been savoring lately. Laphroaig Quarter Cask. Not cheap, but definitely worth it. http://www.laphroaig.com/qc/qc.htm http://www.laphroaig.com/whiskies/quarter_cask/index.asp?expanded=quarter_cask |

blended: johnny walker black
single malt: lagavulin 16yr both taken neat. |
|
+1 The Man speaks the truth. |
|
|
adding a splash of H20 actually brings out the taste. LB |
|
|
I prefer it with a bit of orange juice and a maraschino cherry. Don't forget the little umbrella.
Just kidding. Straight. Laphroaig. |
|
Lagavulin, when I can find it locally.
Laphroaig or Macallan, otherwise. Couple of drops of water to open the "nose" a little. Anything else is sacrilege and an abomination. Blended whiskey, on the other hand, is a pitiful simulacrum of real whiskey, and is deserving of whatever crap you want to mix it with. Cherry Coke, Mr. Pib, Gatorade, fizz water, fruity juice, knock yourself out. Doc H. |

I used to enjoy it neat only. Then I started adding one ice cube, letting it melt, then drinking. Lately I've been finding that I am adding about 4 parts club soda to 1 part scotch. And I also like to add some splashes of Angostura Bitters as well. Very good on the old stomach.

NICE stuff there - have you tried the Balvenie Doublewood? |
