Have you ever had to explain that to a waitress.  :( :thud:

Strange you mentioned that.  About 5 years ago, I ordered a Makers Mark Neat, and the the twenty something bartenderess brought out my drink with 95% ice with MM as flavoring. 

I asked the young lady if she knew what a "neat" drink was.  She responded...  Yeah silly, it means it's not a mixed drink.    :thud:

One time I was at a nice restaurant celebrating.  I ordered a glass off 25 yr old glenlivet neat.   They put ice in it.

What can you do but send it back.  The ice already melted to the point of it  being "Cutty" by the time you got it?

Can't stand that.  Glenlivet 18 is my preferred with a 15 being the option.

Can't go wrong with Talisker   The  balance of smoke and sweet is just about perfect   

For a Speysider give me a Balvenie 12 year bourbon first fill.  Balvenie's best when it's not messed around with rum finishes and other such faddishness.

Well perhaps!  But not all that long ago that is exactly what would have happened here in our neck of the woods!
