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!

I think the "on the rocks" is an American phenomenon; in Great Britain even the beer in the pubs used to be room temperature; I don't know if that has changed but it was true in the late Seventies.
For me it depends on the whiskey too; as I said I am primarily a Bourbon drinker and I like it with ice, but occasionally I will drink Irish whiskey and that I will take neat.
Oh God. There's nothing more inconvenient than an old queen with a head cold!
