OCAU Whisky appreciation

No, just straight from the bottle into the glass. I don't drink it as a shot and sip on it while sitting, talking and enjoying the passing of time.

Remember though that you should drink the whiskey you like the way you like it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

 

I keep my glencairn glasses in the freezer, which cools the whisky without diluting it. Works well for me.

 

Nope - room temp.
Cold whisky loses flavour.

But as others have said there is no wrong way to enjoy whisky.

Very occasionally I might try a few drops of room temp water in a cask strength dram just to see if the flavour profile opens up a bit after you cut out some of the alcohol burn but generally just always go straight from the bottle into the glass.

 

No, the colder it is the less you can taste the flavours. Room temp (maybe 22 degrees) is best.

 

Agree wholeheartedly (as a general guide).
Also, Happy Burns Night and get a haggis up you!
I will be toasting the bard with a wee (!) Green Spot, as due to poor planning, I seem to have run out of whisky.
Oh well, Gaelic solidarity -Slàinte Mhath!

 

It's obviously an emergency situation so in the absence of whisky the whiskey is an acceptable substitute.
