I'm not saying there's a wrong way to take it, but...
I want one bourbon one scotch and one beer
That don't confront me long as I get my money next Friday!
@cmadler Last call for alcohol.
I take it back to the liquor store. Clearly I purchased the wrong bottle!
A good scotch should stand on its own. Neat. Nothing else needed.
I take mine and give it to someone else. I'm not into hard liquor.
I take it to someone who likes that stuff. I prefer beer and gin.
I found Templeton (if rye counts) neat to my taste but they changed it a bit. I haven't found another I like as much.
I'm currently enjoying the 14 yr old port cask...
It's nice.
Tempelton is delicious. It was also Al Capone's brand
I learned to drink scotch in self defense. I'm a sipper, and I can drink all evening at a rate that doesn't get me drunk. And that savours it, too. I started when my wife took me to visit her dad and stepmom, they kept your glass full. She if I sipped Scotch I could drive home and not drive the porcelain bus! Yes, by night's end there were a lot of drunks, but I wasn't one of them. I learned to enjoy scotch by sipping, and still do 40 years later.
By the neck of the bottle to someone who drinks it. there is a thing called choice where you have it how you like it.
