Yep ... which is why I generally save scotch drinking for special occasionsYellowSnow said:
This issue @Tequilla is that if you like cooler beverages, single malt whisky is not for you. The dilution from ice just ruins scotch simply put. Only exception to this IMO is something like a Japanese high ball- i.e., blended scotch with some club soda.Tequilla said:

Never drink scotch on the rocks or with an ice ball. It shows you're a novice, and likely a gigantic wuss. If the scotch is too strong, just give it literally a single drop or two of water. It changes the entire makeup of your pour.
There are very few things I have any desire to drink at room temperature
If you like cold whiskey, best to stick with old fashioned or Manhattan. Or your go to of bourbon and coke.
It can get watered down at the end if you pour too big of a glass ... why I try to go far smaller pouring size -
Try whisky stones. On the rocks used to literally mean adding cold stones from the river. As much as ice dilutes, it also dumbs your tongue to subtleties. The rocks don't get it that coldTequilla said:

That is unless you just like it with ice, then have it with ice. -

This is certainly better that ice. But just get a pair of stones and drink a 60 degrees like it's meant to be.minion_doog said:

I’m far more on the cold side than watered down side ... unless I just don’t like the scotch that much
