Glenlivet on the rocks. That’s how I like it! That’s how I drink it! When I drink Scotch. Usually Wild Turkey 101.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Dewars on the rocks.
Laphroiag, Bowmore, etc....with a splash of water.
Though once a I buddy and I swiped a bottle of McCallan 18 and make jello shots. Not sure how much trouble he got in when his dad found out.
The jello shots sucked, BTW.

Lapua posted this in the basement. How do you drink your scotch? On ice? With seltzer? Mixed?  Or, like me, straight up with a little splash of water? Happy Friday Whore Mongers..... ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/924/tjYaZT.jpg) Our version of scotch is French brandy aka Cognac. We drink it straight.

I prefer not to. I’m pretty sure scotch and diesel fuel are one and the same.
Make mine bourbon. I'm of the same mind, but before I figured that out I used to drink it by pouring it into my mouth. I know of no other way to drink scotch.

My favorite is Highland Park 12 or 18 but I had an Aberlour 12 Double Cask earlier this year that was very nice indeed. I have a nice Japanese malt, Nikka Coffey Malt (Coffey is a type of still, it's not coffee flavored) which has a nice rich chocolate note that makes it a fine after dinner dram. And - - - chilling any alcohol retards volatilization which will effect the smell (nose) of the whisky and since smell is a large part of taste, chilling will effect taste. With a nice, aged, single malt, you've paid for that flavor; you might as well get all the flavor you've paid for.

Ways to improve your scotch or bourbon: https://www.barrelsonline.com/black-hoop-oak-barrelsHas anyone tried aging what you buy, and and aging it some more in an oak barrel? I heard it really improves the smoothness and flavor. It would be interesting to try this aging technique. Damn, I think I’ve found my Christmas present! I won’t waste good scotch in it (I think the distillers know what they’re doing), but it would be nice for my homemade brandy experiments.

Maybe I CAN drink Scotch again without wreching.

1 small cube in Lagavulin,or Laphroaig Quarter cask. I can trace direct lineage back to 12th century Scotland. Although recently I have been sipping good Bourbon. For the money Elijah Craig small batch

I let some other poor sucker buy it and I take the bourbon. Me and scotch just don't mix. Black Velvet and I do.
