Confession noted, Maple. Of course, the only correct answer to the question "How does a true Scotsman drink his whisky?" is "However, the **** he wants to drink it!" If you fancy it with Irn Bru, then good luck to you. Personally, I prefer my Irn Bru about 6-8 hours after my whisky: It's the second best hangover cure (after more whisky).
