Neat Or Rocks?
Chances are if you’ve ever ordered a respectable whiskey at a restaurant or bar, you’re familiar with the difference between “neat” and “on the rocks.” Without casting judgment on those who like their drink cold and watered down, it is my humble belief that good whiskey is meant to be sipped neat, but if you prefer rocks, then have at it!
Another alternative that is highly underreported is adding a few drops (.25oz) of purified water to a glass of whiskey. It changes the aromatics and allows you to mildly dilute without chilling your drink. However you decide to consume your whiskey, we are just glad you’re drinking the Water Of Life.
