agree on that, a good single malt should never be cold... hides the flavour and depth.
surprised no-one has mentioned glenlivet 12 year, my favourite 'everyday' whiskey (not an everyday drinker!). is it available in the states? j On 16 Oct 2011 10:23, "Christopher Byrne" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Michael, Ice I agree should not go into a Single Malt, the idea of on the rocks is exclusively used for the blend I feel. However, Single malt whisky is a room temperature drink. Like many fine wines each malt is unique and releases its maximum flavour at a precise temperature. Occasionally a drop (I mean a single drop) of H2O can be added to some fine peat whisky's to release flavours overwhelmed by the peat. But before you chill down a single malt please drink at room temperature first, you might find you like it better. Some recommendations for the Christmas in terms of Single malts is the Dalmore 15 (Fruit pudding in a glass, strong nose of toffee and spice) and the Jura 16 again strong spice lots of toffee not too peaty. Sorry for interrupting the thread but Whisky and Wine is what I do for a living! On 16 Oct 2011, at 10:05, Michael Hawksworth wrote: > Cavalli and Chopin are both pretty decent...
