I was very surprised to discover that, sometimes, the addition of water
can improve the flavour considerably. (And, no, I'm not one who normally
adds anything to any spirit.)

Adding a /little/ water actually helps to bring out the scent and the
flavour -- see http://www.smws.co.uk/whisky/enjoy.php

When the whisky's bottled at 60+% (as a few of The Society's malts are) it
also helps to prevent the lining of your mouth and throuat being eaten away!

We're all going to die ... The trick is to die happy.

Cheers,
Daniel.

Maybe the trick is to die drunk, then - rather than hungover! ;-)
