I'm not that keen on spirits but I don't mind a simple bourbon and sugerfree coke. Chilled, with ice of course!  Half a bottle of red and some chess does me fine for a relaxed evening though! :)

Here is one of my favourite,  your pour your fav. whisky in a shot glass and drop it in a pint of your fav. beer, prefer draught. It called Depth Charge or aka Boilermaker.

Glass of Red Bull, drop in a shotglass of Jagermeister = jagerbomb

Captain morgans spiced rum with coke = delicious

ordering 20 vodka and cokes for me and my mate when they call last orders at the bar!

Rebel Yell Bourbon is my favorite.  And if you go to their website, you can get all sorts of free stuff!

now you are on my subject.

fav is glenfarclas cask strength Regular drink in my local is highland park.

and the only thing to mix with a malt is a little water. NEVER ice it just prevents the esters from evaporating and giving you the full flavour experience.


 I agree with you that you don't add ice nor water imo, once you done that,the whisky is no longer it true flavour. But some whisky I just can't drink on it own.
