Tell me the best way to enjoy scotch

So, here's the deal. A couple of years ago we were on vacation in England and made our way to Scotland at one point. Picked up a "sampler" box of 3 small bottles of Glennfiddich (12, 15, 18 year old I think). Now, I'm not a whiskey drinker, but I just got it because I was in Scotland. But, I would like to try to enjoy it. How exactly should I go about this? Crack it open and chug? Mix it with Coke Zero? :sarcasm:

Personally, I like it neat. The ice (water) makes it taste awful.

Small glass. Two ice cubes. Sip. Enjoy.

1. Neat
2. With a small amount of distilled water to open up the flavors
3. On the rocks...
They say scotch should be served in one of these..

I'm a lowly blend man myself. Give me a Dewar's on the rocks.

I'll tell you the absolute WORST way to enjoy scotch. About 10 years I read this article about a guy who died from alcohol poisoning. He had throat cancer and they removed some of his esophagus rendering him incapable of drinking booze.
But he still wanted to get buzzed. So he found out that if his wife injected the booze into his butt with an enema bulb a lot of it would be absorbed into his blood. She gave him too much and he croaked.

Get some glenlivet and a 16 oz foamer full of ice. Fill it 3/4 full of scotch with a splash of water.
It might be improper, but goddam I love it.

In one of these. Either neat or with a splash of room temperature water. No ice.

I like it with small amount of ice, usually 2 cubes. That way, early on it is fairly neat, then the ice takes over, and the last bit is with water, so you naturally go through every flavor available.

You want to water it down to 30-35% abb. Easy way to do this is to add about 1/4 straw of water to a shot of scotch.
The first few sips will be strong, but if you try it side by side with one on ice, you'll see its much smoother and tasty when done this way.
The easiest way that got me into scotch was scotch and soda water.
In the end, drink how you enjoy it most
