If I can chill before drinking, I'm happy to stick to two cubes, otherwise it would be pretty tough. I do know exactly what you mean about the melting effect though John, in some drinks it just taste appropriate.

Nice :tiphat:

Way I see it, if your ice is watering down your drink, you aren't drinking fast enough.

I'd also like to be part of this club some day:

It looks like some places online will sell and deliver it to you (depending on your state laws) for a fair price. If you really enjoy it, you may want to check it out.

GarysWine.com: Macallan 12 yr Single Malt Scotch 750 ml - Spirits Whiskey

When I lived on City Island in NYC, I worked as a busboy in a fancy restaurant. Lots of celebs ate there cuz they had their yachts on the island.

Sinatra had his enormous yacht there. When he came in to the restaurant, the waiters all knew never EVER give him a drink with anything but four ice cubes in the glass.

Hah! I admit, with some things (Scotch is a good example), I do drink pretty slowly.

:swoon: beautiful.

Well, if it's good enough for a gentleman of his stature, surely I can get away with more than 2. :tup:

my personal favorite scotch:

Thanks. If I can't find it locally, I might try something different from Macallan. They have a lot of good stuff in their lineup.
:iagree:

I enjoy a very fine Tequila that has been shaken and chilled, then poured into a snifter. Try it some time, it's as good as the finest single malt or even cognac. Some faves: Cabo Uno Reserva Aňejo, Don Julio Real Aňejo

Chivas Regal, isn't that kinda like the "Makers Mark" of scotch? Upscale taste without the ridiculous price some upscale Scotches charge?

What I waste my money on

Speaking of Scotch, we may be headed to Scotland and England this summer :happydance: y'all can bet I'll be stopping by a distillery or three.

:tup: I like premium Tequila both ways, neat, as well as chilled into the snifter..... all depends on my mood. Hard to go wrong either way IMO.
