A daft 19 yo me was at a family home leg stag up north (good few years ago). Ended up back at my uncles house and he asked if Iā€™d like a whisky. Canā€™t remember what I picked but he had very expensive taste and I asked for coke in it.. he stopped, turned and looked at me and said ā€œright, you can have water or ice or Iā€™ll have that backā€; I apologised, asked for both an never looked back. I laugh thinking back on it but I always remember his glance back at me was as if he was going to string me up for suggesting it.. and rightly so!!! Silly, naive and uneducated me šŸ˜‚ wouldnā€™t dream of such sacrilege now!!

Have you tried whisky stones? I keep a couple in the freezer - cools the whisky without diluting it.

I will try that. I like a whisky, but I'm not that knowledgeable about it. I'm told by people who are that a tiny bit of water opens it up. Views?

Depends what it is and what you like. Does change it sometimes for the better but not always! Adjust to suit yourself. Some of the cask strength ones definitely need it in my view!

You should always try whisky neat, imho, even the cask strength stuff. Then add water bit by bit until it's the way you like it. Finding that sweet spot can be tricky. Nothing worse for me than watery whisky.
I use a teaspoon or a pipette to add water. Sounds wank, but hey, it's my whisky and I'll drink it my way. šŸ˜
 
Just had a wee gander at the kettle and seen all the limescale in it.

So why would anyone want to put a dash of that crap water into a decent whisky?

Straight is the only way to guzzle whisky when down south.
