Yeah - it’s wierd what folks will put into good whisky. One guy I knew put ORANGE JUICE in it. Uggggh. An Ozzie recommended a spoonful of boot polish, which IMHO is guaranteed to turn you stone blind. I’ll stick to a splash of water, thanks.
My Dad, who is of Scots descent, always said, when asked what he wanted with his whiskey, was “more whiskey”
The only time I ever knew him to dilute it in any way was when he would use a shot of whiskey to cool his coffee down after dinner, if he was running late for a meeting.
Well we are descendants of Clan Cameron (nothing to do with a certain well known person of that name) and of course Clan Cameron is renowned for it’s moderate actions (hot)
