Jamesons, how do you drink yours?

[FrenchieBoy]

I was very fortunate in the fact that one of the gentlemen that I bowl with decided to have a bit if a clear out of his drinks cupboard and sell off all the whiskey that he has accumulated through the years as he doesn't drink whiskey but had had numerous bottles given to him over the years. He asked me if I would like to buy some (All unopened bottles) at "a very reasonable price" so I said yes of course I would! I ended up with 2 x 1 litre bottles of Grouse and 2 x litre bottles of Jameson's, and all he would take from me was £5.00 per bottle! I have to admit that I do enjoy a glass of Scotch. If it's a Single Malt I either drink it straight or with some ice, but if it's a blended one I like it with a drop of lemonade. Now we come on to the Jamesons.
In my 70 plus years of life I have never tried Jamesons but I am led to believe that it is very nice to drink so the million dollar question is - What is the best way to have Jamesons so that you get the best from the flavour?
How do you drink yours Guys?

p.s. I am a bit of a tight ar$e so No you lot are not invited round for a quiet drink this evening!

Nice enough with coke or water.

 

[Smellydog]

From the bottle.



Neat. Although I prefer Jameson's orange.

 

[Fair Hill]

Small drop of ginger ale and crushed ice.

I should add taste a little dropeen neat beforehand.

 

[Mossypaw]

With a Jamesons chaser ….

Jamesons and Ginger ale was really nice.

Although I’ve not touched a drop since June last year.

 

[finbar]

Ice

 

[kes]

Its mild enough to have on its own, I prefer it neat.

 

[alberta boy]

Neat

 

[Precision123]

Just a splash of water.
Beautiful Irish drink.

 

[topscots1]

Ginger ale or cola.

 

[Fair Hill]

Lovely whiskey to sip neat, the 2023 Midleton very rare is on sale from tomorrow I think.

Yeah, I gave up Ginger Ale in the 70s...

 

[FrenchieBoy]

It seems that the plan has been decided then. Tonight I will try "a wee one" straight and if need be then add a drop of water to it.
After all, with 2 litres to deal with I can take my time experimenting!

 

[User00040]

Drink a proper drink instead?

 

[RM100]

Whisky and soda, 3 cubes ice.

 

[Woodlander]

Neat, why would anyone add water to a nice whisky/whiskey?
