Neat please. In my youth I preferred whiskey in whiskey sours, but now it's single malt whisky. But I will share a Drambuie with the Mrs. I’ve found a nice dram of whisky gives me the ability to continue hard manual labor longer. Neat please.

But as long as they make whiskey I’d say we’ll keep on drinkin
As long as life keeps hittin hard, a drink will help you to take it
And long as we drink whiskey, they’ll continue to make it

I moved away from this eventually. I think that there's a lot of crap written about whisky just as there is about any product. It's marketing shite! Forget the advertising blurb: drink what you like, how you like it and how dare anyone say that you are wrong. James,

And, there's nothing like a good whiskey in the sauce to drizzle over my bread pudding (Louisiana recipe). :) I found it humorous and so true about the advertising, and women liking whisky for the masculinity of it all, etc. (to paraphrase). An interesting observation. :) hmmm, not much of a whisky/ey sipper here, but I do have a single malt from the Isle of Jura, that’s nice.

I do like Ardbeg too. Although a completely different taste I used to like Glenturret before it got taken over. I have an unopened bottle of Glenturret <a href="http://www.royalmilewhiskies.com/product.asp?pf_id=0010000001266" rel="nofollow">18 year old</a> in my drinks cabinet! Most Whisky snobs say that it is mediocre ;-) It might surprise you that you have posted a picture of my favourite which is closely followed by Lagavulin. I do like Ardbeg too.
