Whiskey Neat vs On The Rocks: Which Is The Best Way To Enjoy Your Whiskey?<\/h1>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

Drinking whiskey “neat” means that it\u2019s served at room temperature and without any mixers or anything that would dilute the serving, like ice or water. While drinking whiskey “on the rocks”<\/a> means the whiskey is served over ice cubes. One is bold and fiery, the other is cooled and controlled.<\/p>\n

Drinking whiskey neat is like diving headfirst into a pool of flavour and aroma, while whiskey on the rocks is like slowly easing into the pool, letting the ice temper the intensity of the alcohol and reveal new depths of taste and scent. The only way to discover which one is for you is to try them both out.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n \n
