How to drink Johnny Walker Blue
Just bought a bottle, and I know nothing (I mean NOTHING) about whiskey/scotch etc.
How should I drink it? One Ice cube, splash of water, straight? I remember a thread a while ago where a bunch of you knew a thing or ten about this topic, so I'm counting on you. Thanks a lot - Jags |

from a gold goblet served by naked Scandinavian supermodels.
But seriously, you're supposed to drink scotch without ice. There actually was an entire article in the NY Times Magazine about this a few months ago. I personally don't like scotch so I'd just mix it with some Coke. |

If you don't drink much scotch, straight might be a bit tough. |

Re: How to drink Johnny Walker Blue
I don't like scotch, but when I'm drinking bourbon I'll put about 1 ice cube/ounce in. Making it colder smoothes it out some, as well as the obvious dilution. Doing the same thing with scotch seems pretty standard to me. FWIW, my dad is a huge scotch fan given his income (he can't buy a $100 bottle of scotch every month, but he can certainly appreciate it when he gets the chance) and he drinks it with ice.

I belive Johhny Walker is a blend, so on the rocks.
Single Malt= Neat (no ice) |
