I love the way he goes on about blended whiskey being crap at the end of the film, as that's what the woman told him, but he says he wants it on the rocks!
No real whiskey drinker has whiskey on the rocks, as it kills the flavour. Whiskey with a little room temperature water is fine, but never on the rocks.
If he's gonna have it with ice, he may as well drink blended whiskey anyway! -

Andy wasn't a real whisky drinker or a real whiskey drinker. He didn't seem to be much of a drinker at all, in fact. That line's in there for the writers - kind of the period at the end of Andy's "character development" sentence.

I'm pretty sure the guy who wrote the movie tended bar earlier in his life. So he probably knows about whiskey.
So why put it in the movie anyway?
Maybe it was a subtle shot at the people he's heard (and we've all heard, any of us old enough to sit in a bar) jabbering on about alcohol like they know something, despite clearly not knowing enough to drink it how it's supposed to be done best.
Or maybe he just wanted something that was cool-sounding for the character to say in the movie. I dunno. -

The proper way to drink whiskey or whisky is through the mouth, down the throat. Anything else is personal taste and personal taste only.
Anonymity on the Net allows people to be their true, evil selves. -

God there are some REAL snobs here. I've been drinking whiskey many years and If I have it with ice or without does not dictate whether or nor some snob considers me a REAL whiskey drinker. I wish those types would keep their damn opinions to themselves. The only ones that want to hear them is themselves.

I'm a Bourbon drinker, and I like mine on the rocks. It's a matter of taste, and all this yammering about what makes for a "proper" whisky drinker is just a tad bit silly.
Never mess with a middle-aged, Bipolar queen with AIDS and an attitude problem!
