Not a big scotch fan...

I hate Scotch so.... | #2 | |||||||
|
I order a quality Bourbon and Water (Maker's/Crown and water).
If its a big meeting and pressure's being applied, I wing it and try not to throw up (I usually get shitty at this point) by ordering some shots. Usually, no one has a suggestion so I pick the shot. From there, I control... I just don't do Scotch. |

Crown is not bourbon. | #3 | |||||||
|
It's Canadian blended whiskey. Maker's is straight bourbon.
Not impugning your taste like many bourbon or scotch snobs will do. Crown's fine. Blendeds aren't my thing but I understand why people like it. |

Try Blantons over ice | #4 | |||||||
|
Only bourbon I don't have to add even a splash of water. It's smooth as the buttocks of a 6 month old baby.
Light speed is too slow?
Yes. We're gonna have go right to... ludicrous speed. |

You can try it first about half and half with ice. That should help you develop a taste for it. Then, you can decrease the water you add after a few drinks. You DON'T want to try it neat if you already don't like the taste. Half and half scotch and water with ice should help you get the taste......otherwise you could always give it to me! |

That is neat. That being said, most people just drink it however they like it....ice, water, whatever. Once saw a guy drink it with coke and olives....and had
someone hand me a Dewer's and Dr. Pepper too....so whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Maybe try it straight up instead of neat at first. | #8 | |||||||

A small lemon wedge would be good with a highland malt. Another thing I used to do was to have a glass of coke or something on the side, kinda alternate to get
some of the smoke out of your mouth.

I drink mine on the rocks and occasionally with a slice of lime.

Neat is the only way to do it. If you must add water, take the King's advice and only use ice from | #10 | |||||||
|
distilled water. Sometimes, for pussies, running a lemon zest around the rim will help you be less of a sissy.
