ATTN: whisky (or whiskey) drinkers.

[Kai]

Personally, I can't stand hops, but that's why I'm a bourbon girl. I do enjoy an occasional Guinness, however.

And I take my Jameson neat, when I can get it. 

You can have your bourbon. I'll have whisky, or scotch, or gin. No vodka for me. No tequila either.

Whats the best ratio for mixing whiskywater?

I've been doing it about 1:1, but I haven't increased it because I don't want to dilute it too much.

TGRR,
Drinks the shit "neat", the way God intended.

Yeah, but you drink the sort that just says "whisky" on the bottle. I'm drinking the slightly less spectacular Canadian Club.

It also says (on the back) "Contents:  Whiskey".

Good whiskey is an abomination in the eyes of St Squiggy.

I can't stand vodka or tequila.

Gin... well, I've not had any good gin, ever, but my experience is quite limited. I'll take a nice whiskey any day though. (It's only spelled whisky if you're a Scottish heathen, btw. )

Jack D and Jim Beam are distilled American self loathing.  That said they have their uses.  Mainly mint juleps.

Beam... <shudder>

It's horrible. And I drink Old Crow by choice.

How's Old Crow?  I haven't seen it around.

Slightly less manly than Evan Williams.

Okay okay, Whiskey, then. I keep spelling it both ways so as not to incur the wrath of the resident Scots.

Judging by this:

Alternatively, drink it neat if it's one of those plain bottles that just have WHISKEY written on them. This way also leads to Holiness^TM

I'd say you're safe with the proper spelling. 

[rong]

I have never, ever said "i sure am glad I drank whiskey yesterday"

The same is not true of gin.

[Freckleback]

Rare Breed. Put it in the freezer.  Remove when cold.  DRINK.

108 proof shouldn't be that smooth.

You know, Faust mixes his with Coca Cola.

YOUR SECRET IS EXPOSED FAUST

NOOOO, I am destroyed! Why did you have to expose my terrible sissy drinking habits.

RECOUPING FACE:

In the last year I haven't really mixed with anything. I always take two ice cubes and I won't drink anything other then Jameson, paddy/power/bushmills/jackD all make me feel sick.

Ice works for blending the flavour but it overshoots it if you don't drink quickly enough and then you get watery whiskey.

If it helps you feel any better, I also have blended whiskeys with cola.  Not exclusively, but being the whiskey snob I am, I don't count anything less than a single malt as a real drink, and so, for instance, a bottle of Bells or Famous Grouse will be used to go in coffee, cola etc.

It will also be drunk straight, but only when I'm out of proper scotch.

Bushmills, incidentally, does mix quite well most things, but I only buy the single malt varieties nowadays.

[Bruno]

I like to blend Jack Daniels with diet Citrus Drop.

Bushmills and Black bush are the only two Whiskey brands I have ever gotten a hang over from, I always do the drink a pint of water before you go to sleep trick and even with that I've been like death after bush.

[Xooxe]

I like Jack Daniels, and I can't tell how good other whiskeys are supposed to be because I'm a savage.

This is like admitting to listening to The Cheeky Girls.
