I like to taste neat first. Then add one block ice. Then remove ice and add a splash of water.
Three different tastes!
Try neat...then add ONE drop of water...the difference is amazing.

So I couldn't wait until the weekend, and opened the bottle last night
Very 'heavy', compared to the Irish ones I've been drinking. Hints of molasses/caramel/heavy sugar. Definitely needs water to be opened up, as soon as I added some water, it smoothed out and the flavours really opened up.
For some reason it tasted better than it did in Singapore
On a separate note, you guys should rush out and buy as much of the nice whiskeys as possible. I just checked on whiskyexchange.com and this bottle sells for 35 pounds, which at today's forex is R790!
I finally opened my Quinta Ruban last night, and although I enjoyed it, I found it a bit on the sweet side.
It is quite potent, almost syrupy (don't know how else to describe it) and definitely made for sipping.
As with ll whisky I taste for the first time, I start off neat at room temperature, then a dash of water, depending on how it goes. This one goes well with a splash, and it opens up beautifully.
It compares well with the Necar D'Or in my opinion, although I find the latter a tad easier as a starter.
