What goes good with Whiskey ( Got to meet Mike Rowe)

[ChadRex]

Got to meet Mike Rowe, picked up a couple of bottles of his Knobel Whiskey line. I am gifting the signed bottle to my Dad for his 80th Birthday.

Ice goes good with whiskey

Well, that kind of dilutes it...

Not if you keep the bottle in the freezer and don't nurse that drink.

Not if you keep the bottle in the freezer and don't nurse that drink.

Agreed! But then, why the ice?
The OP is gifting to his 80 year old dad. I would suggest that what goes good with that bottle is to have his family around. At 80, I doubt he needs anything else.

Good whiskey does quite well on its own. No need to ruin it with additions or dilute it with water or ice. If you don't care for it, serve to someone who does or send it to me for a free analysis.

I would agree with not adding anything to whiskey but warm whiskey is a no-go for me

Chilled rocks work well and don't dilute.

Well, how good is that whiskey?
I would think that a great whiskey needs less cooling than an anything below in quality.
Kind of like beer. The lower quality it is the colder it needs to be to be palatable.

Drinking temperatures for whiskey, as well as many other spirits, wines and beers, are often a matter of personal preference. The same holds true for many foods. Everyone's palate is different. I like 86+ proof sour mash, and I prefer to sip it at room temperature. I like cold pizza too!
