Perfect with cola Tescos even sell it pre-mixed.
JD offer several other 'essential mixers' including :-
Ginger Ale. ...
Apple Juice. ...
Soda Water. ...
Lemon-Lime Soda. ...
Lemonade. ...
Mint Julep with a Tennesse Twist. ...
Warm Apple Pie.
Malt Whisky drinkers suggest nothing or (sometimes) a tiny drop of water..... I rest my case
Be gone thy soulless sinner

Corryveckan is my favourite islay, main stream, malt. Can’t really find a better one that’s readily available imo . Always a top choice at the Edinburgh duty free.
currently next to fire, after a afternoon hill walk, with a nice speyside dailuaine. Part of Diageo flora & fauna range. a underrated malt, second only to clynelish IMO.

I was fortunate enough to be in Africa last November.
Daytime temperatures hovered around the 40c mark - it was warm.
Nights were not much better.
We slept out on one particular night (halfway up an inselberg) with only a camp fire and the zillions (I lost count at three hundred and nine) of stars for light.
The PH produced a bottle of Whisky (it may even have been Whiskey). It seemed way too warm to be drinking it.
We somehow manage to force it down.

Really?
I once drove past (actually I couldn't drive past it could I?) the English Whisky Company in Norfolk.
A real treat for any whisky/whiskey drinker.
I bought a couple of bottles - including a 1986 Single malt in anticipation of a significant anniversary. It was a bit of a gamble, but was one of the nicest bottles I have ever bought and I only wish I had cleared the shelf. You simply cannot find it anywhere now.
Any hoo.
To the point.
This shop also has a decent selection of Japanese whisky, and just for 'sh**s and giggles', I bought a bottle.
It was excellent - and no I am sorry, I cannot remember what it was called.

She was born into a doctor's family in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, a town near Glasgow.

They married in a simple ceremony at the register office in January 1920.After marrying, they moved to Japan that same year, and lived for a while in Osaka.
After Masataka opened the distillery in Yoichi in 1934 in Hokkaido
Was handed a gift pack today which included a glass, stirrer and a 13ml bottle of 50% bitters along with the all important Dingle single malt.
It's a bit early to kick off but hey ho it is Friday and it's been a tough week.
First time trying this bitters craic, really complements the whiskey.
Sláinte.
