First, put the ice in your glass, swirl it around a few times and then dump it out and pour your Scotch in.

No.

Take an ice cold bottle of spring water, put a little in the glass and swirl it around and then dump it out and pour your scotch.

What? You don't use artesian spring water to make your ice?

At -50* F? I would smoke the shortest cigar I have. Brrrrrr.

I read that article this morning and have been thinking about it all day. I would absolutely love a bottle from those cases. How old it is, who it came from, where it's been--probably the most interesting bottle you'd ever have come into your hands.

After actually reading the story (which I should have done first), I would say it would be appropriate to melt some Antarctic ice in your glass first and then dump it.

Seriously though, I made a trip to the base in McMurdo in 1973/74 aboard a Coast Guard icebreaker. At the time each enlisted man was allowed to buy one bottle of wine and one bottle of hard liquor per week. If I remember correctly the wine was $4 and the hard liquor was $7 - and the brand didn't matter. I bought a bottle of Pinch which I kept and a bottle of Mateus which I traded to for a bottle of Wild Turkey.

No.

A little dash of water swished around helps to open up the scotch. It does not take much. :D

You're all wrong. Open bottle, put to lips, drink. No need to create extra dishes to wash :banger
