    No, it's OK to leave those. Just take the fucking ice with you...

    Malt whisky is like any fine liquor. It should be drunk warm, optimally at body temperature. The pleasurable experience is an olfactory one, so everything that can be done to enhance the liberation of volatiles in the whisky (addition of water and warming) is to be commended and encouraged. Adding ice kind of defeats the purpose of this, and adding it to really good whisky is largely a waste of money.

    If the intention is to get drunk, then people should save their money, buy bourbon or Johnnie Red, and add as much ginger ale and ice to it as their heart desires.

    The psychology of purchasing decisions is complex, irrespective of what item is being bought. Suffice it to say that Ferrari owners rarely have nodding dogs on the rear parcel shelf

    Jeez, how did I miss this thread.

    As the host of the inaugural Malt Whisky Gargre Evening I'm definitely in for another.

    Why's it taken 5 years guys?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Yes, well I still have a wee bit of a couple of the bottles from then.

    So some of these Islays must be getting on to 20 years old now...

    Pity it's not a BYO evening being suggested. NOT.

    They don't get any older after they leave the barrel. But you knew that already...
