blend it with coke if you want to; it's your liquor.
I'd be all uppity if you were talking about a 21 year old single malt, but we're not. 12/22/2011 9:33:38 PM |

you can use ice.
stones would be preferable... but, then again, some water does help to refine the flavor. 12/22/2011 10:26:28 PM |
Biofreak70 All American 33197 Posts user info edit post |
stones are hit or miss- you get one drink out of them, which is annoying (since you only get a couple per set and they aren't cheap, and who wants to keep a fridge full of rocks)
and there are some drinks I do like to water down a bit
but then again there are others I would drink room temp instead of watering down, so rocks are the perfect solution 12/22/2011 10:28:01 PM |

You should make Johnnie Walker black label ice shooters so you can take shots of Johnnie walker black label with a Johnnie walker black label ice shooter. You just need to be able to freeze 80 proof liquor at -34°C so you can achieve this with dry ice (-79°C) or Liquid Nitrogen (-196°C). 12/23/2011 6:57:57 AM |

I take my black label with rocks or some sprite.
Or if you want to look the part without killing your throat you can put the entire bottle of scotch in the freezer and dilute it with a splash of water when you pour it - that way you will look cooler
But honestly it's not like you're wasting something expensive - drink it however you want it. I use black label in everything mixed - red label is just too rough to be worth buying. 12/23/2011 11:42:27 AM |

go for ice if you want. it's just black label, afterall.

I take my JWB neat with two fingers of either Lagavulin or Laphroaig. Hold the JWB. 12/23/2011 4:48:57 PM |
Biofreak70 All American 33197 Posts user info edit post |
yeah, straight up, I will drink the black, but I think it is better for a light mix ... my typical sipping walker is either green or gold. or blue if I'm out and feel like spoiling myself
I don't see why there is such hate for the blended malt 12/23/2011 4:55:22 PM |

I don't have anything against blended scotch, but I'm not going to drop 200 dollars on a bottle full of marketing. 12/23/2011 5:18:35 PM |

I prefer JWB with two cubes of ice, but you should just drink it however you like. Nobody will think any less of you if you throw in some sprite or lemon or whatever.
^^^^^ Lagavulin, Laphroig, Talisker etc... are all a little rich for me. I like them room temp with a tiny splash of water.
If you don't mind spending $60, pick up a bottle of JW Swing. It's really smooth and sweet and even your little sister will like it. At the same time, even scotch drinkers enjoy the flavor.
...anyway: Anyone here tried the 'double black' yet? I am curious to see what others think. 12/24/2011 2:38:10 PM |

goes for anywhere between $200 and $300 per bottle here 12/24/2011 4:35:22 PM |

^^got a bottle for Xmas, no just a slight hint of peat like regular black. not really much like regular black at all. doesn't have a very smokey nose but the first taste is smokey but isn't overpowering. a splash of h2o made some of the sweetness stand out. I like it but no more than 1 or 2 servings in a a sitting 12/24/2011 9:03:54 PM |
