I like mine on the rocks, no water. The melting ice will dilute it just enough for my taste. Purists nearly always say drink it neat. Well, down here in the south, I drink things that cool me off (that is why we have tea - the iced kind). Ok, so scotch doesn't cool you off that much but I like on the rocks just the same. Same with bourbon.

I've been embarrassed to ask this question before, but I'm gonna do it. From the single malt afficianodos: What is the preferred method for drinking it? Neat? Straight with just a few drops or maybe a teaspoon of water? Ice is a no-no? This may sound trivial, but at 50 bucks a bottle, it's serious. I generally use a small unscientific splash of water, but is there a better way?

Maybe what I should do is get some really good scotch, and drink a few, and then sit down and write next week's trivia quiz! That'd be a fun one, wouldn't it? I can't even drink a 1/2 glass of wine without falling under the table in hysterical laughter! ;-) Kit - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Greg J.

Sorry Kit, my wife doesn't take kindly to me teaching women to drink hard liquor anymore. (I can't say why). But get yourself a bottle of 15 year old Linkwood Single Malt, unscrew the top, place the bottle to your lips whilst tipping it back and swallow. If you civilized and not too thirsty and a glass with lots of ice and no water. You can build up to the really good stuff with practice and a bottle or two of good Canadian Rye. Do this and you'll be ready to join John C. in a Poetry Contest in no time. Regards, Greg Kit McChesney | acmefoto wrote: >Joe-- > >Great!
