Next time you order a whisky, sip a little before you add the soda. Of course you must allow for it tasting stronger, but be- cause you are tasting it by itself your palate can more easily tell the difference between a really good whisky and one that is not quite so good. You will notice a certain roughness in poor whiskies. But in a really good whisky like Johnnie Walker you will find a " roundness" that mellows and
