Do you prefer cocktails or neat?

Man, I used to make a mean old fashioned, but then I got lazy after a while now I’m pretty much drink it neat and proof down with water as needed. I still like a good cocktail every now and then at a restaurant. No wrong way to drink bourbon.

Well, there’s at least one wrong way to drink bourbon...

Short answer?      YES!!!!

Any truly good bourbon would be wasted if not drinking it neat or with only a few drops of non-chlorinated water.  Neat is my general preference.  I do still like a good old fashioned but do not use the good stuff as mixer.  If I really want a cold cocktail a gin n tonic with a twist is a good one.

I enjoy bourbon neat, and I like several cocktails, but my favorite way to drink it  is probably on the rocks.

Neat.  Aside from an occasional beer, I only drink whiskey neat. If I have to have a “cocktail” it will be a bloody mary every time.  I love those.

Much as I prefer my whiskey neat, I have been hankering to try Drambuie. It's all stuff I like.

A quick 50/50 Rusty Nail of Drambuie 15yo and Compass Box Peat Monster Cask Strength is a beauty-- and right at 50.15% ABV.

99.9% of the time - neat, but there is a place in Indy that makes killer Old Fashioneds and Manhattans that has me drinking more cocktails when in town.

Cocktail?  What is that?
