LOL, well, it was open anyway, right?
To be quite honest, for a very long time, I used to be a single malt purist and a staunch proponent of having Scotch neat only. Lately, more and more often, I find myself enjoying it with an ice cube. I bought a large ice cube maker on Amazon; makes 1.5-inch ice cubes. I use carbonated spring water to make them and they freeze pretty clear. Just have one cube at the bottom of the glass and sip slowly while watching a movie. You can see the flavour swirling around ice; it's fascinating, actually...
