From: "warbi" <warbi at warbi.net> > For single malts, a splash of water is used to help release the smell. > Single malt glasses have two fill lines, one for the scotch and one to add > the "proper" amount of water. warbi As the amount of water to add varies from single malt to single malt, I don't see how a glass with two fill lines could be more correct than my (or anyone elses) own good judgement. If you're indulging yourself with a cask strength malt, you need more water than if you're sipping a "normal" strength single malt, etc. For the "normal" kinds, I very rarely add any water, as the brands I usually drink (Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Caol Ila) carries more than enough flavor to flood anyones pallet. And, besides, the "manly way", as we were discussing, obviously involves drinking it straight out of the bottle. ;-) /Henrik
