It looks like it, but I don't see why. C'mon, it isn't important like when I have to school some Philistine about putting ice in sipping whisk(e)y.
I have been known to be Philistine-like on occasion. I could use two fingers of some good right now.
Indulge me a little bit. Next time you pour two fingers, instead of adding ice just add a small drop of still spring water, cool but not cold. It'll round off the edge and cut the "heat" but it won't have the deleterious effect of chilling the spirit. The aromatics won't be suppressed, nor your palate anesthetized by the cold. Your drink will taste the same throughout as well, not watery at the end.
