One for the whisky drinkers

[Waterworx]

Simply, what would you say is the best way to consume?

Got given a bottle last crimbo, even though they knew I don't drink the stuff. And I'm no longer allowed beer or lager but can have the odd snippet of whisky (I've not yet worked that one out), seems a shame for it to be sat all alone so thought I'd crack it open and give it a go.

From a tankard....irate:

 

[locum76]

if its not Scottish single malt its probably best just to throw it out, for health and safety reasons like.

If it is a single malt, send it to me and I shall ease your suffering and you won't have to bear looking at it anymore. After which I shall most likely confirm that it is best served at about room temperature with a dash of water in it.

Agreed, if it's a blend then chuck some Canada dry in it and chug away, filthy stuff. If it's a single, then mix it 50/50 with room temperature water (if you're in a hard water area then use bottled water) - if that sounds a waste, then try a drop neat, then try it diluted, the water releases all the flavour. Experiment with different dilutions to find what works for you.

Btw, which whisky is it?

Suppose I'll get used to it

I've never been a spirit drinker, had some bad experiences due to over indulgence

 

[squantrill]

My doctor told me the same no beer but you can drink whisky!! wierd..

Anyhow single malts are great I love them!

But only one glass at a time and no more than three in an evening!!

mmmm think ill pour one now!

 

[Shewie]

Without a doubt the best way to consume said bottle would be sitting round a fire with a couple of good mates and passing it round taking turns to have heart warming glugs.

Not supposed to have anything with wheat, grains and loads of other stuff, when I found hops was in the list I nearly cried.

Best advice a man could get, without a doubt.

very, very true

I was listening to the 'whisky expert' on the Chris Evans show the other day, he said something very much along the same lines, I'm sure they were all mullered on Radio 2 that day with all the samples they got through !!

Rich mate, your spot on
