Nice, be good to try a good whisky, without mixing, for once in my life.

1 piece of ice,thats all

I prefer some cold water instead of a piece of ice. Ice tends to change the taste when it melts.

Maybe it waters it down :eyebrows:

 

[IrishZebra]

I've noticed this too. Can someone tell me why this is the case?

Water mellows the flavour, Ice does it most gradually than water but to be fair just dirnk it straight after letting it air for a few mins.

True but it also depends on the size of the ice being used.I've seen some use bloody boulder like ice cubes.

Then there's the issue of hands on the glass,kinda like wine.The more your hands are on the glass,you change the temperature of the drink.

yeah that's it,water doesn't do that at all

Well, it sure does but the taste stays the same from the first sip on. With an ice the taste changes as the ice cube melts.

each to their own man, i like one bit ice but a little water is cool too,but is much easier to over dilute

A single block of ice or straight for me.

I don't go for water because I/whoever is pouring it, almost always ends up putting in too much water and drowning the whisky.

That's a good enough reason for me to add more whisky to rebalance.

That's always Plan B.

Speaking of which, a bottle of The Balvenie dual cask is being tortured as we speak.
