Can I get a pass because it's summer?
The purists will kill me, but I just splashed some Hansen's club soda over some Glenlivet scotch.
It's good.

As long as it isn't Laphraoig or Macallan 25 year old, it's OK.

Um, exactly how much of a splash? A wee splash of water opens up the flavor in the scotch. So I imagine the same thing happens with club soda.

As long as it wasn't ginger ale!

How about Coke?

No, not OK. If a "mixer" is necessary, then just let it sit on the rocks for a few minutes.

No, the fizz really adds something.

Coke and scotch? Jack, you are one sick puppy....;-)

You commenters have it all wrong. The Glenlivet opens up the flavors of the club soda.

heavens to betsy, you desecrate. Pour a glass of your Glenlivet. Take a swig of club soda. Swallow club soda, blow across the Glenlivet. Drink the Glenlivet. That's as close to a mixer as that stuff should ever get.

If you're going to add soda you should drink Lauders, or Old Smuggler.

It's only wrong when you don't invite us over for a tumbler or two.

mrfearless is right, Glenlivet ain't exactly a 25 year single malt. A nice whiskey-soda with it is just fine and dandy, ya haters.
You could probably save the coke for the jim beam, and that works too.
