Should I add water to this cask strength bourbon?

Adding a few drops of water can help open up the flavors and reduce the alcohol heat, allowing the complex spice and oak notes to shine through. Start with just a small amount and adjust to your preference, as the 59% ABV can be quite intense neat.
