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

try drinking a good single malt or a good bourbon with a splash (just a splash) of water. the small amount of water isn't to dilute the hooch, but to open it up. You'll get a full, multi-layered drink this way.

Mike Peters would beg to differ.



I'll have a scotch on the rocks, please... Any scotch will do, as long as it's not a blend, of course. Uhm... Single malt, Glenlivet, Glenfiddich perhaps, maybe a Glengall... Any Glen.

Thanks for the advice guys...

I have been putting 2 oz. over 3 large ice cubes and that seems to be doing the trick. I seem to like it better after it sits for about 5 minutes and dilutes a bit, probably becuase I'm not used to drinking scotch.

Overall I like it, it is very very smooth and has a kind of smoky aftertaste. But honestly, I've drank johnny black on the rocks a few times before and I don't know if a bottle of blue label is worth the $100 difference.

Thanks again - Jags

You know nothing about scotch, don't even know what "neat" means or how to drink it, and are unsure if the extra $100 is worth it. Pehaps a Cosmopolitan is more your style.

with a splash of water, from a brandy snifter or similar glass.

edit: if not, neat (ie straight from the bottle) is far better than on the rocks - when its cold, your taste will be numbed, and the flavor will thus be masked.

Just pointing out facts. You're the one trying to be hip by picking up expensive bottles of booze. Pehaps a Shirley Temple?
