In Scotland, people sometimes have water rather than ice. The difference is simply that the ice gradually melts as you drink it, so it has a varying amount of water (depending on how fast you drink) whereas a dash of water stays constant throughout the whole drink. And of course if you prefer it chilled or room temp. Water/ice drastically changes the taste of whikey (generally brings out sweeter flavours) so I always like to try a new one with and without ice and then decide.

Now i understand why people didn't chill their alcohol. I'm learning more about alcohol since i didn't have much access/freedom to try things before. Quite informative

[@davidh9844]

I once froze a bottle of gin for my martinis. Freezing improves vodka in that it gains a very oily mouth feel, and I figured since gin IS a vodka, why not? I found out why not. A great martini requires some water dilution, which doesn't happen when the booze has been chilled below zero. You get a fiery, oily martini that tastes like crap. Similarly, with room temperature gin that is shaken, not stirred, you get a watered down, chilled drink where you barely taste the gin. Stirred, the fire of the gin is extinguished, the flavors all come through, and it is properly chilled for enjoyment.

About the coffee analogy. If you want to see some real coffee that will wake you the hell up without being so bitter you can't taste normally for a week. Then check out the Mud Street Cafe in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I had a cup of espresso there that was ridiculously powerful. And it came in what can only be described as a bowl with a handle.

[@trentonberry105]

[@ramblr8161]

Bitter coffee and the stigma behind coffee just being bitter all the time comes from years of people being subjected to badly made, old, poorly roasted coffee for years. I wholeheartedly believe that anyone can enjoy black coffee if it's made with fresh beans, roasted well, ground right before brew, measured properly and made well. Also, I don't believe you had an espresso if what your drink came in a "bowl with a handle". Espresso is served in a tiny cup, similar in size to a shot glass.

About the whiskey from a freezer...while yes, colder lowers flaovr, but your mouth is ~98.7F and this will quickly ignite the flavor back in...In fact one of my favorites is Gold Label from freezer, and let that viscos syrup sit on the tongue for a few seconds, and then BAM! its a FLAVOR BOMB!

[@LindenHighwind]

This just blew my mind. I got my love of whiskey from working in an Irish Pub some years ago, but I never heard of adding a few drops of water to drink. Of I had to try it with the whiskey I had on hand. It's Jameson, so it's a pretty translucent whiskey. I held the glass at eye level and dropped the water in. I saw the water flowing through it and down like it was a bit viscous, so I figured there had to be a least a little bit of oil there. I started with about 3 drops and took a sip. I only say "about three" as I did not have a straw handy, so I had to let it drip off of a spoon and approximate it that way. I did notice a little change to the flavor profile, but the biggest change was the feeling of oil on my tongue. I repeated with a little more water for the next drink, and sure enough, the profile changed to a flavor I have never had out of Jameson. I look forward to playing around with this newfound knowledge!

[@olafpayne]

Except the Classic Laddie is unpeated. They are confusing the alcohol burn from the higher %vol for peat smoke.

[@dixiemanfunk]

I think one of my favorite whiskey experiences was with Woodford 4 Wood. Started out with about 2 1/2 shots neat in a rocks glass, and added a single ice cube after a couple of sips and the slightly melted ice opened up the flavor, then as it chilled the profile changed again and then as the cube melted the flavor profile changed again. It is one of my favorite methods for trying a new whiskey. It really gives a sense of how you want to order a new whiskey.

[@readyforanything6164]

[@1630revelloak]

I have a question; I am a big jack Daniels man and I understand that using ice, waters it down but personally, I like my drinks cold. So what if I was to use a glass that has been in the freezer? would I still be able to enjoy my whiskey, without watering it down and still getting my cold drink?

[@chikitabowow]

One of my favorite Whiskey's is definitively a Glenfiddich 12, it has such a lovely flavor

[@iPhoneeditor]

A lot of spirits contain amphipathic molecules that will interact with water and a little bit of water can help them separate from non water soluble molecules where you can taste them better. Using an Ice ball you decrease the surface area of the ice compared to a cube of the same volume so it melts slower letting you chill your drink and adding less water content over time. If you want your drink chilled but without water content you can use whiskey stones. I've found in my limited experience some drinks taste good with a small amount of water content or as they change over time as slightly more water is mixed in by the ice melting and some drinks water tends to ruin. I always drink water along with my drinks or in between them to stay hydrated and sometimes water content in the drink itself can facilitate that and decrease the severity of any potential intoxication. Edit: They talked about this with the whiskey and water segment, the principal works with lots of drinks.

It is also VERY nice when you are trying to detect faint cuts in your whisky; in case someone sold you Blended when the bottle says Single (I'm looking at you Scotland).

I vaguely recall a video demonstrating a device, shaped like a very roughly cut skeleton key cut from a piece of oak. They implied this "key" could improve the impact of the aging process. If there is any valid science to this claim, wouldn't oak bracing within a barrel achieve this same result? If this process could make a 10 year, taste like a 12 year, or other similar change, the distilleries would be capitalizing on this process. The explanation referred to the limited porosity of the fibers of the slats of a barrel, compared to how the "key" had very exposed and porous fibers, allowing the whiskey to interact with the wood much more. I haven't found anyone that I thought might be better equipped to settle this question. Please humor me.

Th best way to order whiskey is with a gun. Gunman: hey can we just pretend that this .45 acp is my tab cause if I don't get my drink I might just start clearing my tab 2 shots at a time

Whiskey is Irish, the scotch is Whisky .. it’s the ‘E’ that makes the difference...do these people know why?

[@kudukilla]

Pretty sure the ‘36 regarding the Texas whiskey refers to 1836, the year of independence from Mexico, and establishment of the Republic of Texas.

When I order bourbon I order a single barrel. And yeah I do like ice however I get the ice ball or the one ice cube the large one. That's how I like my bourbon.

[@jayyt2969]

If i put hard liquor in the freezer. Then decide I don't like the minimal flavor, could I sit that chilled liquor at room temperature and bring back the original flavor?

Daniel: Smoky Bourbon -- King's County Peated Bourbon Whiskey, Brooklyn New York (45%); not all that great, but, hey, it's a peated bourbon.
