whiskey neat
Spirit without ice
Whiskey neat is whiskey served at room temperature in a glass with nothing added—no ice, no water, no mixer.
The term emphasizes purity of presentation: I'll have a bourbon neat.
Neat contrasts with on the rocks (over ice) or with a splash (a small amount of water).
Some drinkers prefer neat to appreciate the spirit's full flavor.
