If your whisky is a little "hot" then I would suggest the water like you did or smoke a fuller bodied cigar. It will open your palate and will change the fuller bodied scotch

Dennis, I would to have loved to smoke a cigar with it ANY cigar as a matter of fact but that, once again, looks like it is months away.
The Whisky Advocate's tasting notes is a great place to find notes for almost any whisk(e)y. I don't always agree with their numerical ratings, but the tasting notes are pretty much spot on. It's a great way to find flavors you know you like, then expand on them or find complimentary tastes.
+1. If you drink the top quality, aged Scotch or whisky and feel little strong then simply add little spring water lower in mineral such as Highland Spring or Evian. The finest restaurants make their ice cubes from high quality spring water. It does make a huge difference. I make my own ice cubes when I drink high quality single malt or wishky.

Thanks for the suggestions, gonna go to Bevmo today and get a bottle I still don't know exactly what I want but ow I got some good options thanks to you guys, I'll let you know what I pick up
And my personal favorite, pour a drop or two on your palm, then rub your hands together until they becom sticky, cup and smell. This burns off the alcohol and leaves you with much of the flavor. Great for finding nuanced flavors, especially in some of the peaty monsters out there. And once you have the flavor in your nose, it is easier to find on your tongue.
Just don't scratch your nuts first. Sorry, I had to get in on that one.
I always wondered why all my whisky smelled a bit vinegary...

Excellent choice...21 years old has been matured in oak casks then transferred to port cask that adds extra level of dept and add concentrated fruit and smoky notes. This is one of my favourite single malt.

Just picked up some The Balvanie 21 Year Portwood. Good stuff gents, even for beginners like me.

thanks. Honestly, my first real scotch experience (more than $20/bottle). I was so impressed that I bought a bottle after one drink. Not cheap but really good.
