water down everything is as bad a "rule" as never water down anything. try things neat in case you're inadvertently ruining them is all I'm saying. try with water/ice before you write off something you don't think you like. rule zero is it's your whiskey drink it how you like it but try to go on a case-by-case basis

that said the acquired taste of drinking most whiskies neat at room temperature is a valuable asset, particularly if you travel, especially for business

if it tastes good neat and at room temperature, it tastes better with some ice in it

you don't want to get it too cold, though. low temperatures will numb your tongue just as badly as high alcohol concentrations.

amtrak provides free ice in the cafe car
every business hotel provides free ice as well

a half pint of whiskey does make business travel fly the gently caress by at a low cost but you're not obligated to take swigs out of it like a hobo

depends on the ice machine, some types (and local water supplies) are better than others

just because there's no ice to slow you down doesn't obligate you to swig either. sipping neat works. a good rule of thumb for it is to keep a glass of water nearby for when you're actually thirsty

drink your whisk(e)y how you like but be aware that neat, with water, or with ice are all going to be different tastes. you can try all three to see what you prefer and there isn't necessarily a hard and fast rule for all situations except the rule of don't put ice in whisky

sorry if this is a dumb question but did you eat the veg or was this an 'infused vodka' kind of a deal?
