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.

Just a cube or two.  Mixing good spirits is a waste.

On ice with a splash of water.

If Single Malt. Ice only.

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.

By the way, it was a silly question. It's not very difficult to experiment!

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.

+ 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.

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.

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.

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.
