Two weeks ago - full of coke and ice
A few days later - still with coke but 1 to 3 ratio and ice.
A few days after this - still with coke but no ice
Few days later- no coke but with ice.
Now - neat.
Been a wonderful 2 weeks.

Neat, or with a bit water. Never ice because the taste changes too much as it melts.
Don't mind some of my cheaper stuff with ginger ale in the summer.

Neat, or normally with a small splash if it's 46% plus.

Neat, with stones depending on the malt

Assuming that's the unboxed one I saw on the bottom shelf. Lidl's beers are excellent so hoping for similar with the whisky

I don't drink it very often but usually have a bottle or two available. I did drink it a bit more over the Christmas period as I fancied whisky in preference to rum for some reason as yet undetermined. Have you given rum a go?

aye unboxed...bought a bottle and pretty decent, had far worse single malts

Think i had rum years ago and dont remember liking it. However, I never liked whisky but guess was drinking the wrong type. Think I'll stick to whisky or the wife might think I've really got a problem.

growing collection...about 15-20 bottles.
Tending to replace every bottle I finish with one or two new ones.
Planning on a bit of a splurge when we go to Islay

I've got about 100 bottles on shelves in my dining room, at various levels of emptiness. Don't tend to finish many, just add more new ones over time...

Are you planning on drinking them. Mate who loves his whisky and spends shit loads of time in scotland says that people collect them and dont bother, which seems crackers to me.

Give Havana Club 7 year a try and you may have a different view as you now have with whisky.

no they’re absolutely all for drinking...and all opened apart from those got for Xmas ( doing dry Jan)
Not spending or buying collectible stuff but by rotating to try different ones each weekend a bottle can last ages..bought a bottle of Port Charlotte heavily peated in March and still got a quarter or so left

Aye that's my plan now that christmas has gone. Only drink it at a weekend. However, fancy one now mind, but being a good lad.

Aye, the Lidl Islay is very good.
I find the 8 year old Queen Margot with the black label is good for an everyday whisky. As well as the 3 year old red label Queen Margot there used to be a 5 year old in the range with a green label but I haven’t seen it in stock for ages so may be discontinued.
