A whiskey neat is a simple and classic way to enjoy whiskey. It involves pouring a serving of whiskey, typically around 1.5-2 ounces (44-59 ml), directly into a glass without any ice, water, or mixers. This allows you to experience the whiskey's full flavor profile and aroma undiluted.
Here's a breakdown:
Definition: A "whiskey neat" is simply straight whiskey served at room temperature.
Serving: It's usually served in a "rocks glass" (also known as an old-fashioned glass) or a "glencairn glass". While a rocks glass is more common, a Glencairn glass is designed to concentrate the aromas and enhance the tasting experience.
Temperature: The "temperature" of the whiskey is crucial. Room temperature allows the whiskey's volatile compounds to be released, revealing its complexities.
Experience: Drinking whiskey neat allows you to fully appreciate the "whiskey's flavor", aroma, and finish. You can savor the nuances and complexities that might be masked by ice or mixers.
Who enjoys it: Experienced "whiskey drinkers" often prefer whiskey neat to fully appreciate the distiller's craft. It's a purist's approach that focuses on the unadulterated spirit.
