Ok, I'll pile on... 7&7... before I was legal. ;)

As for the water question... The way it was explained to me was that having a little bit of fresh water tossed into the whisky allows a fresh set aromas to start avaporating from the surface of the drink, and therefore, since more than half our sense of taste is actually controlled by smell receptors, the character of the whisky becomes fuller and more complex.

That all may be BS, but that's what I was told.
