I drink it with a little lemonade. Mr Dusty buys the value Whisky from Tesco (about £6.60 a bottle ) and then carefully pours it into a Grants or Teachers Bottle. None of our family and friends have ever noticed.
He does the same trick with gin and vodka with the same results.
Tight fisted but clever.
As Tesco say "every little counts. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :y :y

To those who want to know, the secret of the month is the Tesco own label 12 year old single malt.  Won quite a number of rosettes in the latest round of 'my whisky is better than yours' championships up thisaways as conducted by those clever buggers who swill and spit it out rather than swallow....   ::)

It is, I think, £15 a bottle and worth every penny.....

As to water and a dram, its very much to your own taste but (caveat mode on) water (or ice) is the only thing I think you should add if you want to taste the produce.  The use of Coke, Irn Bru or Lemonade or similar simply overpowers the drink to the extent that you are simply drinking Coke/whatever with a shot of alcohol in it....

If you are partaking of cask strength or similar malt then water is preferred so as to bring it down to tastable levels, rather than having your palette burnt to buggery by strong spirits.  Unless thats what you want that is!!  

Also, the alternate cheapskate method of partaking blended cheap as chips own brand Scotch is to keep it in the fridge and get it as cold as possible.  Takes the sharp edge of the mixture of good and cheap....   :y

Dilute the right stuff with the right amount of fresh soft Scots water then you get the right drink for the right time.....   ;)

I've used this book for over 15 years now ( the first one was "borrowed " and never returned >:( )
It has an interesting prologue and then a single page write up per Malt .
It's very accurate ,informative and great fun ,but VERY expensive to use.....
It's ISBN number is 0-07513-0146-9

Can't say I have seen that :-[ :-[ :-[
for day to day use I then to buy Tesco 'Special Reserve' blended, I did try their 'value' range bt found it a bit rough, even when diluted.
Tesco seem to be doing special's at the Mo, missed one theother day but yesterday I bought 2 1.0L bottles of Teachers at less the £14.00 each. Needed to spend £50.00 to get petrol vouchers ::) ::) ::)

As for the rest, what Hotel21 said....... :)

I can always spot cheap gin, but then I drink it 2 parts gin, one part tonic!

Got a cupboard full of blends so will have to try the fridge trick!
