A few years ago I took a class on whiskey at the Institute of Culinary Education in NYC.
They has reps from the big liquor distributors as speakers. They all said that a little water added opened up the flavor of the spirits. We sampled about 30 different brands of whiskeys and indeed adding the water helped the flavor pop. They said the taste is hidden by the burn. BTW of all the whiskeys sampled I kept going back to bourbon. When I drink an unmixed bourbon I always add water.
