[Drinking] Januwhisky

Totally fed up with Dryyouhairy, Veguhairy, Thisyouhairy, Thatyouhairy and Theotheryouhairy.....may I announce the arrival of 'Januwhisky'.
30 days of drinking fine Scottish malt whisky, at least one 25ml nip a day with a few drops of water.

Do it for charity if you so wish but do it for yourself also.....

Oh and none of the sub-standard Irish stuff...it must be Scottish...

To the uninitiated this might seem wrong, however, for a Scotch of over 45% alcohol you really need to, otherwise you won't taste the whisky, or rather it'll be overwhelmed by the taste of hard alcohol. All whisky apart from cask strength whisky has already been diluted with water at the time of bottling for this very reason, it all starts out generally above 60% before its bottled. The Malt Whisky Society is your friend on this, they'll help guide you, and also explain how even a few drops of water in a regular 40ish% malt will help improve its flavour. Probably the best thing to do is try it, just in case you like it.

I stopped reading at 25ml. That's like growing half a moustache.

The water releases the vital aromatics in the whisky. Serioush mishtake not adding water....I too was a non believer until recently..
