Your whisk(e)y drinking temperature?

[CPTBoy]

Andy told me that adding ice to a whisky locks down the flavour and aroma, thus making it "dull". Whereas a dab of water ( distilled ) will open up the flavour and aroma ( specifically for cask strength )

If only it could do that to Mash Tun.

Hah! That kak needs to be used to clean your drain.

When I was working in Africa and hot countries I used to keep my blended whiskies in the fridge.

This makes sense. I would rather keep it chilled in a fridge than add something to my whisky.

It's not strong enough to even do that

I knew it was bad when I saw it as a shot at the whisky library for R7 a shot!

A block or two of ice, nothing else.

Always just added ice and didn’t get too stuck on the dilution idea.

But always wanted to try those whiskey cubes.

Whatever temp my creme soda or fanta or whatever dash I'm using is.

Whatever the combustion temperature is. If you can drink whiskey, you can salad toss a stray dog.

[ShaunSA]

Goes for anything food/drink related really

Can I revoke this post. Just now someone says they have whisky with tea or fruit juice or something

Can't say I've ever taken my temperature whilst drinking whiskey.

I like it slightly chilled but I hate it diluted so I add a single block of ice just to get it a bit cooler than room temperature.

I've been looking at those cooling stones but the reviews I have read seem to be a mixed bag of for and against. It does not have to ice cold. just a bit cooler than room temp. I only drink Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey (I like it when it has plenty of rye and it is on the strong side flavour wise and I have found that slightly chilling it brings out the flavour.
