In Scotland, part of the Great British Kingdom, they drink it 50/50 w cool water.  room temp in Scotland, which is pretty cold.

 

that's what all the little jugs ( furnished free by various distilleries , w logos, etc ) on the bar are for.  you add your own

 

you can look it up, or take a trip .

 

Im not much for 'Stills   but its not bad that way.

 

'Half and Half'  I think its called.

It might be a sort of fetish to collect these.

 

not sure myself.

 

I also can't say if the jug has to be related to the actual whisky you are drinking for optimal taste.

Hmmm. The prices on Ebay are a bit more sane for Water Jugs.  I see a compulsion developing that might divert me from acquiring all of the world's cast iron ashtrays.

This study needs to be done :  double or triple bind : ( jug = fav. whisky ) + that whisky  vs competitors jug + fav. whisky

 

might need a series of samples.  no spitting either.

cats are cats, and dogs are dogs.

 

Ive had several of each.

 

cats are rarely impressed.  Dogs, easily impressed.

Dogs are heroically innocent...Dudley Do-right types. John Wayne had an Airedale named Duke. He adopted  the name out of respect for the beast.

 

Airedales are the apotheosis of the species.

 

Cats are...cats.
