Scotch lovers put ice in their scotch?
 
Myself I'm currently enjoying a bottle of Laphroaig 18.

No, just a splash of water some times.  If I want my scotch cold, I stick it in the freezer for a while.

I especially liked this one last year:

yes, the Glennmorangie is a fine single malt, had a nice bottle of The Macallan this year

A friend gave me his Laphroaig knock-off 'Laughroaig' - Cracked up when I read label.

I like Knob Creek, buffalo trace, and Makers Mark ( in that order). I did recently buy a couple Angelo Lucchesi Jack Daniels, but that was more of a sentimental purchase than one based on taste.

As jc9394 said, no ice, just a dash of water (mineral water or distilled water, not tap water) if you so wish; when it comes to cask strength whisky that is when you would want to add a dash of water to unlock its flavors (as well as dilute down the alcohol). Personally I would not like my whisky ice cold though as you would want the spirit to evoporate so that you could smell the whisky's nice auroma.

HA ! Brilliant. But how did it taste?
 

 

[sammcj]

Well considering it was only 20~ days old or so when I first tried it - not to bad!
Better than the bog standard blends you buy at the local, but not as good as the real thing.

I drank a Dutch single malt at a friend of mine this new years eve, didn't even know we made one
Wasn't the best I ever had, but tasted seriously good

Well the bottle and case look promising, but I've sadly never seen it in my local liquor stores, so I'd assume it's not sold here-- tis a shame!
