Please realize that the hotter side of hell is reserved for those that mix it with anything except a small ice cube at most.

read somewhere that the "right" way is to mix in a single teaspoon of water (which would be equivalent of the single really small icecube, but all at once)... works for me!

The "professional Highlanders" order their single malt with a small tumbler of water on the side, and take alternate sips. NOTHING should profane the best single malt! (We drink it out of tiny aquavit glasses with a tumbler of water on the side.)
