Do you like your whisky beverage, straight, on the rocks or mixed with some other beverage? How do youl ike and enjoy it? As far as I am concerned, it is good almost anyway, but I generally will mix it with some kind of soda. It is pretty strong to drink straight in my opinion.
 
It depends on the quality and flavor profile of the whisky, for me. If I am staring down the barrel of Jack Daniels or Jim Beam, they are usually a bit tamer, so I don't mind having them in a straight shot or even mixed with a cola. With more bold flavor profiles, I could still take a straight shot, but I personally enjoy it with a cola back.

I can't say I blame you for not wanting to drink straight. I tend to go for my cola backs and mixers.
 
Depends on my mood, when I'm chilling watching a show or playing a video game I mix it up with Coke, but at bars I drink it straight.

Yes, I tend to mix it generally. I like the taste of whisky but drinking it straight is something that I really have a hard time doing. I will ocassionally mix it with water though. That is the kind of thing that I will do in regard to Whiskey.

I never really liked mixing whisky with water, but whatever floats your boat I guess! :p Drinking whisky straight is definitely hard if you don't do it that often, but take your time sipping and you'll get used to it.
 
My taste buds really need some training, as I'm not really that able when it comes to recognizing what is good stuff, and what is garbage...

Having said that, I'll always have ice on my glass, and sometimes I'll drop some coke in there.
Really depends on what I'm planning to do with myself that particular night.
 
I prefer to drink it straight or on the rocks. When the weather is hot I do like it with a little water and some ice. I don't like having it with soda, it hides the whiskey taste too much.
 
I prefer to drink my whiskey on the rocks. I like to enjoy the flavour and not take away from it with any type of mix.
 
I usually drink it slowly and do some little sips of whiskey. I know, it's kind of unusual but that's the way things are in my life.

I wouldn't consider that unusual. That´s how I drink scotch, I prefer not to have a mouth full, it can be over powering.
 
I prefer to sip it straight and I like to have it on the rocks in the summer time when I am sitting on my porch. I also like it with a little Cherry Coke. Coke is nice, but Cherry Coke just gives it that little extra sweetness.
 
Generally a good whiskey over the rocks. On occasion mixed with soda water. Never mixed with a soft drink, ever.
 
I think the preferred way for most whiskey fanatics is to drink it over the rocks, and I think that's perfectly respectable. However, nothing beats a nice Whiskey and Coke made by the right bartender! I like mine a little strong though because I still want to taste the whiskey, obviously.
 
Like I said previously, with me it depends on my mood. Whisky is good any way you have it. With ice, with soda, with coke, just like that... you name it, it tastes great!
 
It’s mаinly just а mаttеr оf prеfеrеnсе, yоu саn drink whiskеy аt rооm tеmp withоut аnything in it (i.е. nеаt) оr yоu саn hаvе it with iсе (оn thе rосks)… yоu prоbаbly dоn’t wаnt tо dilutе it tоо muсh sо dоn’t lоаd it with iсе, 1–3 сubеs bаsеd оn prеfеrеnсе.
Hоw yоu drink it, оr shоuld drink it аlsо dеpеnds оn whаt whiskеy yоu аrе drinking… thе tеrm соvеrs sеvеrаl lаrgе саtеgоriеs оf drinks suсh аs sсоtсh, Irish whiskеy ( Jаmеsоn fоr еxаmplе), аnd Bоurbоn. Bоurbоn whiskеys (аnd аlsо саnаdiаn whiskеys likе сrоwn Rоyаl) аrе typiсаlly swееtеr аnd lеss оf соmplеx in tеrms оf thеir flаvоr prоfilе, Jасk Dаniеls isn’t tесhniсаlly bоurbоn but it’s fаirly similаr tо bоurbоn in flаvоr (аt lеаst соmpаrеd tо thе оthеr whiskеy typеs). Bесаusе оf this, yоu hаvе muсh mоrе lееwаy with thеsе drinks аnd саn drink thеm hоwеvеr yоu wаnt, strаight, оn thе rосks оr with а mixеr.
 
I do not like mixing my whiskey with other form of drinks or beverages. I enjoy drinking it alone or plain.
 
Thеrе's nо right оr wrоng whеn it соmеs tо whisky. Hоwеvеr, I dо likе tо bе аblе tо rеаlly аpprесiаtе thе tаstе аnd smеll оf а drink thаt саn sеt mе bасk tеns, if nоt hundrеds оf dоllаrs аnd this hаs bееn thе bеst wаy fоr mе tо dо sо. But, I'm rеаlly lооking fоrwаrd tо rеаding thе rеpliеs in this thrеаd аnd pеrhаps try nеw wаys tо еnjоy my fаvоritе bеvеrаgе.
 
I always take my whiskey mixed with a soda especially a coke. If I take it raw I always throw up I don't know why.
