Jediteo Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Badaim is more civilised than to drink his whisky ice cold. A whisky dispenser would be quite indispensable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 6, 2012 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Depends whether you're talking about whisky or whiskey. I agree that an Islay malt should be enjoyed 'as is' (OK, a little water if you absolutely must), whereas I prefer my bourbon over ice. The paint stripper otherwise known as Barcardi, on the other hand, must be served with Coke or alternatively used for unblocking drains.

BadAim Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've been alternating lately. Even though I'm not a whiskey purist per se, I do enjoy my burbon over ice, though lately I've been enjoying it 100% straight (I'm not so anal as to demand a dirty glass, but I make sure it's dry). The last few days I've been back on the ice. Mixing whiskey with soda or other abominable things was purely an aberation of my youth. Obviously Bacardi is not a real man's drink so mixing it with soda is no real offence, as offensive as the idea might be. As an aside, the very idea of drinking whiskey from a paper cup is detestable. A red plastic Solo cup would probably do in a pinch though. I mean it's whiskey after all.

Jediteo Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 While I mainly drink scotch, I do enjoy the occasional bourbon or rye. Usually I drink from a tulip glencairn glass with a small splash of water, but for bourbon mainly neat. The only things allowed to mix. With whisky is red vermouth ans angostura bitters, or alternatively sodawater, bitters and a teeny bit of sugar; that is however reserved for the cheap stuff when socialising.
