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. ;-)
