Absinthe: Quite disappointed

Hi,

I strongly suggest drinking scotch not on the rocks, but without ice and at room temperature instead, especially when drinking a more complex scotch. Adding some drops of water to release the flavor is fine, but the lower temperature from the ice numbs your taste buds and may lessen your sensation of the different aromas of the scotch.

In the end it's all a matter of taste, of course. ;)

I have to disagree on the "a price that won't break the bank" thing... For example, a bottle of 18yrs old Macallan, one of my favorite whiskies, costs about 80 Euros (about 65 US$), which for a 0,7l bottle I think is quite a lot. On the other hand, a single malt is not an every-day drink for me, so I happily buy three to four of these more expensive whiskies per year despite their price... :D
