1. What are you drinking? No scotch is the same, and some stuff will burn you to the ground if you're not accustomed to it. Start off with something light like a Dalwhinnie or something.

2. Scotch on the rocks is sacrilegious! Drink it neat (nothing mixed) or with a touch of water.

If you're starting out, add more water to it to lessen the harsh taste, but make sure the water is room temperature, and filtered if possible.

Personally I put about 5ml of water in and sip it. It'll take me a good 30 minutes to finish 1oz of scotch.
