Absolutely Father Bill
I certainly don't pretend to be a Guru or " know-it-all of anything, but I do know what I like and without sounding pretentious offer the bit of knowledge I've gained in the matter. Just a "tear of water" I say and it seems to suppress the alcohol and allow the "undamaged" taste buds and back of the throat to accept the complexities of the whisky.......... NEVER ICE ! as the whisky warms up the taste seems to open up ....... This method is for TASTING whisky..... how you DRINK it is up to yourself

I agree, a few drops of water really opens up the flavour and the water itself, that you use can make a difference as well.

Just a drop or two
My wife and I did a scotch tasting sponsored by Glenfiddich at a celtic festival last year. We tried three different ages of Scotch whisky and with each they had us put first one, then two, then three drops of water into the shot glasses we were tasting from. The un-watered taste was very strong and to some unpleasant, but with each drop of water the harshness subsided and more and more flavor came out. But as many know too much water just dilutes it and you don't get any benefit.

Can't fault the thinking there, Bill. For a change experience and science are happily marching together.
