The correct way to drink whiskey is the way you like it

[ricardodelorenzo]

Personally, depending on the strength, adding a few drops of water can help open up a whiskey. If it's been thoroughly proofed down and chill filtered however, leave it neat. It's easy to drown a 40-43% whiskey.

[RuckusOutfitters]

I typically drink it neat and enjoy all the flavors of it, then immediately drink a second pour with one ice cube. Sometimes It completely changes the flavor profile. It’s silly not to try to get all he flavors to come out of your whiskey.

[TheCooklynChannel]

I drink all my whiskey on the rocks. Definitely taste them for the first time neat, but I don’t like room temperature drinks of any kind. Gotta pick a side. Hot or Ice Cold.

[Indigo]

Also depends so much on where you are. If you’re in Scotland, have it neat. If you’re in Delhi in June in 40°C, trust me, you need ice.

[thegoodboys]

I usually drink all new whiskey neat and from there I add chilled stones, water or ice. If I'm at a function and they have something like Jim bean or even normal Jack then I go for the more mixing route and I pour ginger ale or Coca-Cola.

Having been a Scotch drinker for many years I have just started exploring American whiskey and came across your channel and I’m loving it dude! Thank you so much, just loving the content!

[davevogelsang]

My favorite way is a round ice cube in a rocks glass. If you boil the water before putting in the ice mold, the ice will freeze clearer. Let the ice sit in the glass at room temperature for at least 5 minutes before adding the bourbon, which keeps the ice from cracking. I have bought some glencairn glasses to try drinking neat.

[fasteddie]

Good video. Thank you. My wife and I follow this simple process for evaluating and trying out new whiskeys, tequilas, and rums: sip a shot neat, sip a shot on ice, have a glass of it in our favorite suitable cocktail. We have found that this helps us quickly determine lifelong favorites that we consider staples, but we are always open to trying out new ones.

[AEYouthGSS]

I spent DAYS looking for this channel!!
I remember watching videos last year and made the mistake of NOT subscribing.
I’m glad he’s still making videos

[djavanserafim]

I like it neat.
In Brazil it is a little weird to some people to drink it neat and see you drinking neat because most part of the time is hot in here and we don´t have a great whiskey drinking culture. In some places they fill your glass with ice and pour the whiskey under the top of the ice cubes and mess it up.
Great content as always.

[tommccafferty]

Ralfy suggested that once you add water, you should let it sit a minute for each year of age of the whisky. So you would let a 10 year age statement whisky sit for 10 minutes after adding water.

[AdamN-uqfy]

I like drinking my bourbon neat, but I also like making clear ice, so I enjoy drinking my bourbon with ice as well because it looks really cool. I guess it really depends on my mood or what type of bourbon, if it’s a high end, I’ll drink it neat

[robschoeny]

Hey Jeremy dry aging is much more complicated. You basically create a micro climate were moisture can escape and intensify the flavor of the beef. 28-45 days you’ll reach max tenderness of a dry aged steak. After that point (45 days and beyond) is when you’ll start to develop the funky\cheesy notes.

[archietyler]

All whiskey I believe is to be enjoyed the way you like it. New or not I start neat and then add a big ice cube. I have to be in the mood to mix it. I use your clear ice method and love it! As always love the content my brother!!!
Cheers Jay!!!✊👊✌

[nealsidor]

Thanks brother.
Personally, I like to pour a little bottled water in a hefty whiskey tumbler and freeze it.
This way the dilution is minimal but it still cools the burn a bit. I'm a bourbon man and I prefer this to ice cube(s) which seem to go away much more quickly...

[Jeremy-sfxf]

The stones are good to use. Cools it down with out watering it down.

[resbaj]

I do like to put an ice cube in my whiskey but for a different reason. When I start the glass there is that gorgeous flavor. As i drink it and the ice melts the flavor softens as I go. Then, when I refill the glass (adding a fresh cube) BAM! there is that big flavor again. Roller coaster for the mouth. :-)

[markrobertson]

Just found this channel and binge watched a few episodes! Scotch is good on the rocks too, all you need to do is find cheap and high proof scotches…..it’s a very short list. Wish they would make more.

As someone who makes his money with Whisky, Gin and Rum-Tastings, i can tell you: i always get asked "but what about Ice, or hihihi Cola" and i always say "if you like it cold, drink it cold, if you like it with coke, go for it. But do yourself tha favor of trying it neat first".

I also dont generally play with those "high end" nosing glases, most of them are a waste of money
