    Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Lagavulin in no apparent order.

    Most of my single malts are from Islay.

    Please elaborate on the ice messing with the taste, I am a bit of an ice lover.
    I also enjoy putting drinks in freezer for a while.

    I always felt whiskey was nicer with ice -3 tots, 4 blocks ice let stand for a moment or four.
    What is the "no no" with ice? And whiskey?

    I'm a big fan of Tullamore Dew out of the cheaper ones it's good, I do keep all my whiskey in the deepfreeze though as the taste of any bottle is enhanced tremendously.
    I am also a heathen and drink it with lots of ice though.

    At the moment Im enjoying Tullamore Dew, Irish Whiskey in general is pretty good, much better than a Scottish blend

    I am also partly to blame for the decay of our polar ice caps due to my preference in temperature of whiskey, which is COLD

    Well the best whisky out there is the whisky you like... and the best way to drink it is the way you like to drink it. There is no right or wrong.

    However when adding alot of water to your whisky you are not drinking whisky anymore but whisky flavoured water. Ice reduces the taste about 30%.. its like turning down the volume. Again if that is how you like it go for it. Whisky appreciation/tasting one normally try it neat in a nosing glass of some sorts thus to get the full experience. Then you can add a few drops of water to open up the whisky... because science.
    And if you want you can dilute it further and or add ice. Everything adds to the experience.
    Some of us like it cask strength at 65%abv some like it watered down.
    Again no nobbery here

    I saw there was a previous thread out there about liquor... but I did not want to necro it so I started this one. A name change could work...

    It’s a funny thing. When I started out with the single malts I also preferred the speysides, and lately the peated ones have become my go-to.

    Now a speyside tastes almost bland.
