Do you mix Whiskey?

[Stone-Free]

Since whiskey is a hot topic, how do you drink it?

[pechelman]

neat with a very very small splash of water

or if the gf is making a sour with some cheap stuff Ill have a sip

[ECbum]

Couple rocks...

Like bourbons with a little ginger.

[Daywalker]

On the rocks, occasionally an Old Fashioned. Most places can't make one though.

[schindlerpiste]

I'm not really a mixed drink guy.
Beer = .032 is not preferred
Wine = Red = Italian and French
Bourbon = Rocks = Maybe, a Manhattan once in a while
Tequilla = Rocks = Shots = Maybe a 'rita, now and then
Vodka = rarely
Scotch = Rocks
Rum = very rarely

Edit = I am a big fan of those crazy drinks up: Grappa; himbeergeist; Kirsch Wasser; Williams; Enzian

How I drink my whiskey?
Depends what kind of mood I am in as well as the setting.

After work or at a local joint, always on the rocks: 4 cubes to 3 fingers.
Dinner/date is neat.

And never mixed with soda. It's either straight or a rusty nail on the rocks, or manhattan up.

[Stymie]

straight-up, thanks.

[SKISC]

I don't mix whiskey. Never liked it in soda, seemed to make the soda taste flat.

A good shot or on the rocks.

[teledave]

OTR, straight from flask, or if it's early and my stomach is a bit queazy then I like it mixed with a little lemonade. NEVER with any kind of cola.

[kidwoo]

Woodfords, blanton's.....etc......rocks or neat

Makers mark or lower end stuff with ginger

[El Chupacabra]

With bacon

[Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo]

If it's good; neat, with a splash of water, or Manhattan. If it's not so good, with ginger.

[4matic]

Prefer burbon over scotch. I like Burbon rocks and occasionally a burbon coke.

[F#*k you cat]

or
beam and coke

any other mix is sacreligous.

[soul_skier]

I voted for on the rocks, but thats only becaue strait from the bottle wasn't listed, god I love college

[lemon boy]

just on the rocks although....if I get ahold of a sub-par bottle a dash of bitters fixes the taste of almost any crap bottle.

[biggins]

Beam and coke. My weakness. Thought the ensuing hangover has me rethinking this habit.

[Yeti]

Neat, no rocks, definitely no water if I have my druthers. Will add a splash of water for those certain malts.

I am a traditional bourbon drinker -- Knob Creek and Booker's are my favorite of the Jim Beam brands, but any of the more exotic stuff (e.g. Blanton's) is good bourbon. As far as 'merican whiskies go, I prefer the bourbons to the Lincoln County Process liquors like JD.

Then there's Scotch whisky. Different tastes, but IMO they're all best straight.

[AbsolutStoli]

whiskey isnt really my drink anymore...kinda had an overload of it in college. but i usually embibe it either with coke, with sour or a shot/bottle tip. im not really a fan of sipping it.

i used to drink JB or turkey almost exclusively in college. an occasional jack because thats what the housemates drank. now i drink gin and rum.....oh yeah, and vodka haha. but the vodka is shots on family events.

[StormRider]

On the rocks or mixed with ginger ale.

[Dr. Gaper]

Jameson, straight up.

How come that's not an option in your poll? Or a 'NO' option.

[The Dad]

Yes, I mix whiskey. But only with my stomach juices, bad judgment, or a combination thereof.

Why no poll option for no?

[Brewski2]

Licking it of some stripper's tits is my prefered method. That or a flask on the chairlift.

[KQ]

Flawed poll!!!

I drink Maker's Manhattans (perfect) so I'm mixing it with equal parts of sweet and dry vermouth. Oh...and what about Old Fashioneds?

Flawed I say!

Side note - Blantons' should NEVER be mixed. Drink it neat.
