The Whishy to drink with soda water

Peter Dawson Whisky has this rare quality, that it does not lose its fine character when mixed with water or soda water. Try a P.D. Scotch with Soda (ice cold if you can get it) and you will realise how different it is from an ordinary whisky. It has an individuality and charm of its own.
