Tis' the season for a good bottle of scotch.

Me? I'm a #3 man. I crossed out #4 for obvious reasons.

I prefer mine neat. I have tried water in a few, but i pick up more flavor without 7 out of 10 times...

Anyone who drinks Scots Whisky in a cocktail is...just...weird.

In the Heathrow airport there is a Scotch shop with literally over a hundred different regional flavors. My favorite part was the scotch drinking classes from the colorful old brit with a rich Scott brogue.

I left with a nice buzz and a lifetime appreciation for single malts.

My sister in law is Scottish and her father in Scotland would never serve his good scotch to anyone who wanted water in it. He gave them the cheaper scotch.

I prefer whisk(e)y neat ... if it has to be in a cocktail to taste good, I’m wasting my time.

I thought I liked the smoky peat, but then I had a very peaty one and it just tasted like creosote.

Anyone know a sublime Scotch that is readily available (I hate the elusive small batch racket)? Utterly smooth and pleasant? I don’t drink now, but an older friend does (moderately) and I’d like to get them a nice bottle for a gift.

Alton Benes takes his Scotch with "plenty of ice." He likes ice. And Scotch.

Prefer Chivas, have for over 30 yrs.now. Went to Scotland many years ago and went to the whisky trail and found the Chivas Regal distillery. Sadly it was closed when we arrived but it certainly was beautiful on the outside. Folks told me that it is mostly run by college students.

Stopped supporting ANYTHING from Scotland after they freed
the Lockerbie bomber. That includes Scotch whisky.

Switched to Irish Whiskey and haven’t regretted it.

For #1, I found this glassware good for scotch and bourbon.

Boo hoo hoo. I stopped drinking three years ago. A good snifter or two of the good stuff - like a Lag 16 or a Mac 21 - is the only spirit I really miss. No regrets about anything else.

[Birdman]

Neat, rocks on the side to pour over incrementally (Oban is my choice)

[Lopeover]

Thanks for posting on this topic! Gonna drink my scotch in a snifter. Don’t think I will add water. Got some great suggestions from other Freepers on good scotch. Thought I’d try them all over time. Starting with a bottle of Dalwhinnie. I haven’t tried it yet, I’ve just been looking at it! 😊

I usually just chew on a burned band-aid when I need to replicate scotch flavor.

There is only one (1) way to drink scotch: neat....in a scotch glass. Add 3-5 DROPS of distilled water per dram:

If you drink enough you can cure a cholesterol problem as cirrhosis of the liver will leave your blood vessels cleaned out.
