    In all fairness, Scotch can open up different notes and flavors with a bit of water/ice. If anyone wants Zima, we ask them politely, but firmly, to leave.

      Some (not all) Scotches can open up a bit with a little water, but would disagree about ice. You’re basically turning everything down with ice.

      BUT

      I think everyone should be allowed to order their whisky the way they like it and enjoy in peace. Ice, water, beer chaser, soda, whatever. I don’t care for those things but get as crazy as you want with no regrets.

      Zima is just malt liquor sprite.

      I’m gladly stand alone and say it’s “good” occasionally, the same way a 40 of Mickey is “good” occasionally. If you’re in the headspace, it will get you where you want to go.

        Wait, is Zima still available? I haven’t noticed it in stores in many years. But I also haven’t been looking for it, since I’ve found that I’m not a fan of malt beverages.

          Apparently not in the US, but it is in Japan.

          I think the closest thing to zima in the US now is Smirnoff Ice. I have to say it’s been a long while since I’ve had either.

      For me, Johnnie Walker is like that donkey that gets Homer Simpson into trouble. Don’t get me wrong; we have a great time together, but there are…consequences.

      Ahahahaha, it’s the old snob in me coming through, even though I don’t drink anymore. Yeah, I was quite…opinionated about things like stout mouthfeel (it has to be chewy or what’s the point) and IPAs being absolute ass.
