While the whisky experts discussed in the Independent article featured below do not mind mixing their whiskies I prefer my whisky neat so that I can taste the full body of the drink. I suppose on a hot summer’s day I might be persuaded to take in a whisky cocktail as they do appear rather charming, and appealing to the palate, but it would be few and far between. I am rather won over to the neat experience. However, as with all food and drink the most important aspect is that you enjoy the experience. This said, before mixing a whisky I would strongly encourage enjoying its full bodied flavour neat first to experience its unadulterated form and then, if one must, by all means mix and enjoy. However, before mixing please do consider the years of effort that went into creating the perfect dram and perhaps reconsider the mix? Neat with a few drops of water to open up the bouquet is how the masters imbibe. That’s food for thought.
