Some time ago whisky was chill filtered to make a more consistent product to vie with French cognac. The problem is that the filtering process removes some of the aromatic phenols that give it flavour. These phenols also make the drink cloudy after the addition of water. Some distillers are now making some non chill filtered whiskey eg Ardbeg. These are much more complex and IMHO better.
