I've heard that adding a little water or an ice cube helps bring out the flavor more? I can only drink the really smooth stuff straight. I don't like neat harsh shit. I love JW blue label neat, but honestly it took me a while to tolerate it that way.
JW green IMO though is disgusting.

Well, I just stopped off at the market on my way home and picked up some Pepsi, some heavy cream (got fresh raspberries yesterday), and a bottle of Dewar's 12-year-old Special Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky.
Before sitting down here to type I had a sip.
Neat.
In a nutshell, it's not bad. I certainly don't have the most discerning palate - I'd probably have to have the Dewar's and follow it immediately with the Macallan or an oak-aged brandy to be able to tell the difference - but all-in-all, it was pretty good.
I'll have a bit each day, but it's not going to be much work to acquire a taste for it.
Probably easier than the acquiring a taste for the bhut jolokia chiles I have growing on the back patio (which have just started developing buds: I can't wait!)
I'll let you all know how the tasting goes.

be sure to smoke an obnoxious cigar while enjoying your whiskey 
Not even a good cigar.
Not even an extremely good cigar.
Not even if you offered me $5.
