Re: What is your favorite Scotch Whisky
Some Whiskys open some new tastes with a splash of water, some with a few drops and some get worse if you add water... you have to try it, thereīs no general rule.
Tasting experts (e.g. at the distillery) put more and more water in it while trying until itīs reduced to app. 20 % of alcohol.
Whiskys coming outta Sherry casks are (in most cases) a bit more critical if you add water, itīs better to be cautious. If theyīd only been in a Bourbon cask itīs less critical... but there are also exceptions on both sides... as always...
