For good whisky, enough to lower the ABV to 23%. Alcohol traps flavour (great for packing lots of flavour into a bottle), so lowering the ABV helps release flavour, as long as you don't go too far.
If you're drinking shit whisky, it's enough to take away the harsh alcohol burn.

A sad bottle kill last night ☹️ Loved this @glasgowdc.bsky.social #whisky from @nononsensewhisky.com
We need another collaboration guys!

The cat enjoys whisky for a slightly different reason to me.

I found this one in Hong Kong. Just a museum piece these days

Woke up to a light dusting of snow in Cambridgeshire, which meant our cat could get out in the white stuff for the first time. She likes hunting her own paw prints 🐾

That sounds horrific 😂 How does it work?

Merry Christmas! Ending advent with this dram from the calendar 🥃

It's a great one, Dan. Well done! Kicked off the Christmas drinking with a dram last night 😄

I enjoyed the bottle of the double oak I had. And the bottle made a great lamp 😂

This was turkey, sage and plum stuffing, pigs in blankets, Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce, and gravy on ciabatta.

Christmas dinner in a sandwich 🤤

It's the best of the Bowmore core range.

Opening a bottle of Bimber that's been on the shelf a while 😁🥃

The advent calendar had something unexpected today - a lost distillery and an impressive age statement. I do like a grain, so this will be interesting.

A canned mizunara highball all the way from Japan. Should be an interesting one.

Advent calendar under way. 12yo Glen Elgin today

Souvenir of the airport duty free 😁

And the beer of choice is a hazy IPA at 5.7% - Dream Sensation from the Heart of Darkness brewery in Ho Chi Minh

Hanoi in the sun for lunch 🍻

Lochlea CS is a great bottle at £52.

Thanks. I did remember the children's book in the end. The hair I was never going to get without clues to both words 😂
All done now!

16 down, 4 to go. Struggling on the hair, cup, holiday books (year), and blanket. #HiddenBooksGame

Had this little guy in the garden this morning - a hummingbird hawk moth. Fast little bugger made it very difficult to photograph with a phone 😂 but an amazing creature to see in person.

4 years married to this incredible woman = sushi and whisky 🥃🍣

I didn't expect that from Sainsbury's. Their CMO is the LGBT+ inclusion advocate on their Operating Board.

Bit cold for ice cream, but I could probably be persuaded to have a @circumstancewhisky.bsky.social gelato from Jack's in Cambridge 🥃🍦

Just opened this month's @summertonclub.com bottle, a 20yo Invergordon finished in amarone casks. Such a good cask choice! Well done, Dan 👏

Autumnal tumbler for an easy-drinking Green Spot.

What's the author's experience of Hong Kong? As someone who grew up there and has family living there currently, I can say it does not offer a solution.

Palate is salty and smoky. Quite funky, but works well for me.
