No, I take that back. It also negatively impacts the balance of flavors as well.


I am not sure what it is...I can do Blantons straight...but with the cost of a few cubes of ice I can make a bottle of makers last alot longer....all about money. Ice is cheap...and doesn't take away from the effect or taste(of makers) for me. If I spend +$50 for a fifth, I will not soil it with Ice....but most under that need a little spoiling.
