Barrel proof scotches are generally diluted with a moderate amount of water (as well as supplemented with caramel color) before being bottled for consumption. It is common practice to add either a dash of water or a small ice cube to a glass before drinking to "release the aroma". Poured over ice is a fairly brutal maneuver for a 30 yo :-! You ought to experiment by drinking straight, and then adding small amounts of water/ice to see what you like the best. Jonathan
