It is drinking it neat, heartburn central and cheap as old chips. I'm fine buying cheap liquor if I'm drowning it in coffee or cranberry with vodka. I buy tequila to cook with and if I'm at a bar I drink it with pineapple so I don't go for the expensive stuff there either.Had my 1st glass of Proper #12 with@sparkuri It's harsh.
What scotch are you on? If I'm really savouring a whisky I like Glenkinchie. Lagavulin tastes like hospitals.
