Really?
a dash of water does really bring out the flavours in a good whisky, ice providing you don't suck on it or let it melt too much does the same. But like you said he mos well use what is plentiful.Cask strength or barrel proof whiskies (usually those over 50% abv) can usually benefit from the addition of a splash of cool water or an ice cube or two. By adding a splash of water, flavors and aromas that might be missed in such a high proof whiskey begin to emerge

no it doesnt. Ice cools it and locks up the warmer notes, it minimises the volatile aromas.
While cool water may help pin down some of the soluble ether and thus change the flavour profile, ice should be avoided like a motherfucker.

bit like a true whisky drinker.
prefer less than a teaspoon of water myself, but neat in a bar as I don't trust them not to flood it.

post yr recipe au.
Altho as far as cocktails go, long island ice tea.
Triple measures of everything top shelf, and a dash of cola for colour

I use 60% ABV neutral spirit, or even up to 80%ABV if it's a potent herb. I then grind up the herbs, and put it into a bottle and fill with spirit until there's just enough spirit to cover all the herbs. Then leave for a month, shaking the bottle twice the week. Filter off the herbs, and you're done!
It's managed to kick a few asses before, mine included.

Just for something different, I'm drinking Heineken.

White spirits only in a long island ice tea isn't it?
They are bloody nice though.
KB's Chief Cats

Your driveway can kick your ass.

wasnt kinda implied with 'cola for colour'?
I put a dry engrish lager down, thinking of you and your shitty POM sweat beverage. Shooting for 5.1%. We're 20 days in and its tasty. Ill let you knw how it turns out in november.
