I agree about that, although it has greatly expanded sales for the distillers so I guess it works for a lot of people. The first time I toured Woodford Reserve (great tour, by the way), they insisted that it was only proper to drink it neat, no ice or anything else. More recently they talk about all the different ways you can enjoy it, including in a manhattan or other mixed drink. I guess sales volume overwhelmed the purists!
