two quick stories
1 - my gf at uni lived in a very nicely decorated posh flat, with very nice posh rich girls. one evening i was staying over, drinkies were had, then me and the missus slipped off to take some acid. for some reason i couldnt stop eating and drinking, so i went off and got a battered haggis supper. i stuffed it down, and sank beer after beer and it didnt settle well at all. i ended up boaking in the kitchen, mostly into an open cupboard over dishes and into a cutlery drawer. haggis boak is all grainy and gets everywhere, and the acid made me think the room was covered in it. terrified that we could all be contaminated, i spent the rest of the night doing a deep and pervasive clean of the kitchen. mostly lying on the floor with a j cloth. i was not allowed back in that flat.

2 - the guy that rented my room after i moved out was trouble, but my pal olly the landlord was a very easy going guy. he didnt mind when the new guy fell behind in the rent in the third month, and he didnt mind when the new guy ran up hundreds of pounds on the phone calling gay chatlines. He didn't mind when the new guy stopped cleaning up after himself, and even didnt mind when the new guy started selling used washing machines from the front garden. but when he found the new guy lying on the floor beside his bottle of glenfiddich (empty) and two empty bottles of diet coke, he threw him out of the house. you dont take mixers with good malt.

2nd Story

Gets a click. I can't abide people who spoil decent malts (and Glenfiddich only *just* qualifies) with mixers. And mixers to me include ice and water. Keep them the fuck away from my whiskey. I've had several run-ins with barstaff when I've ordered a malt and the bastards have put ice in. I refuse to accept and refuse to pay until they give me what I, very clearly, ask for.

"A large Glenmorangie, no ice, no water please...."

Cheers

An american I knew
would always ask for "Jack Daniels - no ice, no lemon, no shit."

See
I like to mix single malts with Diet Coke, just to see the look on some people's faces.

This worked especially well when my cousin took me to the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society.

Water is acceptable.
In fact, some decent single malts are best with a little tepid water to release the flavour -- a proper one will cloud slightly when the water is added.

Glenmorangie
Special Reserve is the one to get, only found it at the distillery though.. Failing that, the port cask is a rather fine alternative.
