Scottish malt whiskey is the best with water according to Swedish scientists

It is a question that has divided whisky lovers for centuries: does the true aficionado add a dash or water, or drink the spirit neat?

Using computer simulation, they found that partially diluting whisky improves the drinking experience because it drives flavour compounds to the surface. (Pietsch Judit, MTI)
