Ok will try from the youngest and work my way up then. And with ice to start off.
Id start with a bit of water just a splash to take the edge off and "open" the flavours, add one or 2 cubes if needed. I wouldn't put ice in the 18 y/o or much water as you'll dilute the thing, a few drops of water through a straw is all the 18 y/o would need.
When someone says "open" i think the idea is that you take away some of the alcohol burn that can mask the flavours, it comes from cask strength alcohol which is undiluted. I think they pre dilute blended whisky so its ready to drink, stupid thing is even if they do that cheapo whisky is still like firewater lol.
