How do you guys and gals take your whiskey? Neat, rocks, mixed, with water?
Neat or, if required, with a few drops of water, drunk from a real whisky-glass - the Glencairn
Drinking it on the rocks or from a tumbler kills the flavour
I have never tried scotch straight before. I'm thinking about giving it a try this weekend. What brand, water, ice, soda mixture would you recommend for a first timer?
Be advised that i have never really "sipped" on booze before.
Glenlivet 12 is what I recommend...there are some more threads in the Speakeasy related. Very good bang for your buck...and user friendly. Doesn't have huge flavors like the Islay's that you may or may not appreciate...or like for that matter.
That stuff is like $30-$40. Do they offer it in a pint? I don't want to pay that much for something i may or may not like. You know?
I can get it at Bevmo for $22 to $24...another option would be the smaller 50 ml bottles which run $5.99. You could always try different things at a Bar or Restaurant.
