That's how I learned to drink Scotch. To start I found a lighter tasting Scotch so I went with the Glenlivet. That is pretty much a starter Scotch.

Started with nine parts water to one part Scotch and over a few weeks gradually worked it on down until I found the right combination that worked for me.

Now I can tackle a far more complex drink straight if I wanted to but to me it isn't as enjoyable as it is with my combination of ice and spring water. It isn't much but I do find that it brings out more taste. I know it sounds weird but it works on my palate.
