Even I, with my house on two wheels knows better than this

Most whiskies wil benefit from a touch of water to open up the flavour.

Aren't the 40% ones already pre-watered, effectively? The ones at cask strength around %56 are designed to be watered, IIRC.

Curious use of the word "refreshing".

Makes a very good toilet cleaner.

i'll testify to that, the 18 is the best whisky I've tasted - not that I know that many of course

interestingly, though, no matter how interesting the scottish malts are,
from time to time a glass of jd makes a refreshing change

Haven't you got tapes to change?

The 18 year old is a good un.

Ardbeg 10 yr old, Islay's best whisky imho.
A whirlwind of peat and complex malty flavours, drunk neat of course as a fine single malt should be.

a few weeks ago in Livigno I bought a bottle of Macallan 'Whisky Maker's Selection' or Favourite or something

is it a good one or a bad one ?

Obviously wasn't that memorable for you

Got an bottle of Old Pulteney 12 year old on Friday and just got round to a glass. Was given a neat shot in the shop and did not think to much of it but it really opens up with a touch of water. Slightly sweet and almost rum like. Very nice.

Most whiskies wil benefit from a touch of water to open up the flavour.

Your best bet is use use a neutral mineral water rather than tap and room temp, not ice cold.

also get yourself some of these glasses they work wonderfully with some of the cask matured whiskies and really bring out more flavour than a tumbler.
You'd be amazed at the diiference in flavour between the different types of glasses.

What do you think SAS looks like?

I envisage "Mr Bean meets Gok Wan"!!
