I wonder if whiskey is one of those things that taste different to different people (like coriander). I love a small measure of Laphroaig in a cool glass; add even a small amount of water and the drink is ruined for me. I do enjoy less distinctive tasting whiskies as cocktail ingredients so not sure why the addition of water alone makes such a difference for me.
Curious to know if this is just me or an effect recognised by others.
