the whiskey thread

[darren mcclure]

...and don't forget, even if it sounds strange, to add some water in it, because it will reveal a whole world of new flavors you can't taste when the level of alcohol is high. The difference is amazing on all these Islay single malts. True scottish drinkers do it that way

adding water is a matter of taste.  i prefer not to, as i like the bite (and if my drink cost 22 dollars definitely not!   ).  it does slightly alter the taste though, and sometimes for the better, so it's worth checking to see which you prefer.  back in ireland when you order a whiskey, you'll always be served a small decanter of water (room temp) to alter to your particular taste.  the one difference between american and british drinkers is the addition of ice.  pretty normal in the states but rare in the uk.
