I hate it on the rocks. The more the ice melts the worse the whisky tastes. With every sip the quantity of whisky decreases, with every moment the ratio of water increases. By the end it tastes absolutely awful. Ice forces you to drink it quickly, when you should be spending twenty to thirty minutes over each dram.

[Anonymous No.13896697]

Maybe my brain has been warped by booze, but to me the potential additional flavor you can get from water doesn't make up for the wateriness of the dilution. I like the punchiness of liquor. Each to their own though.

>Whisky is distilled to around 70% alcohol by volume (vol-%) then diluted to about 40 vol-%, and often drunk after further slight dilution to enhance its taste. The taste of whisky is primarily associated with amphipathic molecules, such as guaiacol, but why and how dilution enhances the taste is not well understood. We carried out computer simulations of water-ethanol mixtures in the presence of guaiacol, providing atomistic details on the structure of the liquid mixture. We found that guaiacol is preferentially associated with ethanol, and, therefore, primarily found at the liquid-air interface in mixtures that contain up to 45 vol-% of ethanol. At ethanol concentrations of 59 vol-% or higher, guaiacol is increasingly surrounded by ethanol molecules and is driven to the bulk. This indicates that the taste of guaiacol in the whisky would be enhanced upon dilution prior to bottling. Our findings may apply to other flavour-giving amphipathic molecules and could contribute to optimising the production of spirits for desired tastes. Furthermore, it sheds light on the molecular structure of water-alcohol mixtures that contain small solutes, and reveals that interactions with the water may be negligible already at 89 vol-% of ethanol.

I recommend trying it both ways. Water sometimes helps to 'bloom' heavier whiskies (canadian ones seem to have a more syrupy mouthfeel) and expose new tasting notes. If I'm just having a drink though, I prefer it neat.

Soooo, like every fucking whiskey that exists? It’s already been diluted for taste, retard. When it’s not, it’s marketed as “barrel strength”. The end product, the liquid in the bottle is what the distillers want you to taste. You can add water, which in some cases may reveal notes you prefer over what the distiller prefers, but for other ones, it will make it worse.

People who drink neat don't add water. People may order neat and add water themselves, people can add coke themselves, it's not neat anymore.
>all the notes
Only oil soluble notes, since oil rises to the top when you add water. Only a single smokey note was studied. Not only don't you want to amplify that note in most whiskys (even Islays will become unbalanced), it ruins every sip except the first since that compound has already been consumed.

Good whiskey can be enhanced by a few drops of water to suit your pallete.
(single malt)
Ice can smooth a whiskey which is good for drinking and feeling a buzz.
(Johnnie walker Black label)
Blends don't need ice, but it feels better and gets you drunk quicker.
(What you buy)
Ice and coke will make fire water drinkable.
(What you buy to get drunk) PS my favourite
You are better off with rum or gin if you are buying the cheap stuff, unless you like the burn so you feel like a cowboy.

In a bar order it straight, with water separately.

I was practically a teetotaller before I first tried my first glass of Glenfiddich. It's not an interesting whisky, but it lacks the harsh notes that will turn a first timer off.

Whiskey rocks fucking suck. Their conductivity is garbage for the sake of cooling your beverage.

I think this is a money thing. People look at whisky, see it's expensive, buy a cheap bottle to mitigate the financial risk, and leave dissatisfied. I can give nice whisky to noobs and a lot of them will really enjoy it.
I fed my dad Dalwhinnie 15 the other day and he was ecstatic. That said, I have had him try better / more expensive bottles which he hasn't favoured. So you've also got to find the right bottle.

you're supposed to use ice retard. ice modifies the flavor, which is the point of adding anything cold in the first place.

kentucky straight bourbon whisky: neat, chased with something sweet

I've never been able to enjoy it with ice. For myself personally I've always liked the taste more when at around "room temperature".

Depends on how much of an alcoholic you are.

If anyone his hard-set on preference, then they don't even like wood liquor in the first place. Highball glass with two fingers, or a big cube, or out of the bottle that I still'd myself. Get over the pretension.

>high alcohol serves as an aesthetic
1) It’s expected with single malts/pots/barrels and accounted for (he spends most of the video talking about blends)
2) doesn’t numb your whole tongue and not fully
3) numbing reveals (or narrows) flavor to specific notes hence why some people don’t like the flavor of one whisky when with added water, or why some prefer the same batch with higher proof than with lower (for more on this subject, look up “miracle fruit”)
4) Obviously if the barrel strenght is 59+%, you’re diluting that, but 40-50% is completely manageable

[Anonymous No.13904001]

>>13903954
okay
I like the alcoholic kick myself.
All I'm saying is I've drank loads of the stuff and sometimes diluting with water makes the most out of a bottle, especially if I'm sipping for a long session. The dram becomes wine, and the tongue isn't getting absolutely fucked.

If you've been drinking then you haven't got the best sense of taste and the extra intensity from the alcohol is more likely to help than hinder your sense of taste.
You do do warm up drinks?

[Anonymous No.13904743]

>If we're being honest with ourselves:

For me, anyone who puts whiskey over ice is not a malt mate. You can't control taste and smell. You can't allow for oxidation time. Most icefags have no idea what I'm saying. So no you're not having a malt moment. You're not a malt mate. And yes, you're a simple consumer not a discerning customer.
