Stop in for a drink.

So after a long evening working at range last night I sat down with a new (to me) Scotch 12 year old. Poured it over a couple of cubes let it simmer for a bit and tried it. To many sharp edges for me but had good potential. Eagle eyed wife is beside me, I swipe her water and add a dash to my drink. Wife gives me some serious WTF look and I shrug with the .... What look. She laughed and says really... that was just a token splash so you can say your not drinking straight whiskey right? She knows I typically may mix strong! Then she goes on a rant over how silly it was to add just the splash. I then explained it wasn’t really mixing so much as wanting to open up the Scotch. By now her eyes have glazed over as I explain the finer nuances of sipping. Thought TMM might relate! PS it was a Macallan and it was yummy!
