Ah this is interesting for a teetotaler! I did not know it was desirable to keep the whiskey warm. I thought, like soft drinks, the idea was to keep it as chilled as possible. So the optimum temp is just a little below room?
- colechristensen 12y agoLots of character (flavor) is lost with many foods when they are very cold. Cooler whiskey goes down smooth, 0 C whiskey has lost most of it's flavor (especially if you're the kind of person who spends obscene amounts of money on small amounts of whiskey). Room temperature on a cool day is what many will say is the 'right' temperature, but there is no right or wrong, despite what many questionable experts will tell you.
- GhotiFish 12y agoso why do we put ice in whiskey? When just directly chilling the whiskey produces a much more desirable effect?
- colechristensen 12y agoControl, simplicity, preference. Nobody is going to agree that X is the best temperature for every whiskey. Whiskies and drinkers are all different. Room temperature whiskey and ice give the most control with the least complication.
