How do you ask for whiskey at a bar?
If you’re looking to taste whisky, order the whiskey “neat,” which means no ice, no water, no other mixers or garnishes – just the whisky in a glass. If you’re there to drink whiskey (as in, you don’t really care about the nuances, you’re just looking to get a job done) order it however you like!

How much whiskey do you get at a bar?
Like other liquors, a standard whiskey pour is 1.5 ounces for shot, 2 ounces for a neat or rocks pour, and 3 ounces for a double. Pouring whiskey is right up there with pouring beer in importance, as every bartender needs to master these.
How should whiskey be served?
We recommend trying whisky neat at first—no water or ice. Allow the whisky to express itself as its creator intended. It’s perfectly acceptable to add water or ice if that’s what you prefer. Master blenders dilute their whisky down to 20\% ABV, to reveal flaws and subtle flavors.
