What's to say about this song? It is a song about whiskey and the best way to drink it; just pour it in a glass and enjoy. This one is likely to get picked up and reinterpreted as a Cooper Point Rd tune for their live sets.

If you see Brian at a bar and you want a whiskey recommendation just ask, he has plenty of thoughts on the subject, even more thoughts if you buy him a whiskey.

Lyrics

Whiskey Neat
Dark run with some fancy fruit
Is nice in the tropical heat
a cold beer at the end of a shift
some days it can't be beat

I don't need any one of these
to call my day complete
When I'm drinking I'm drinking my whiskey neat

Some folks like a rock or two
in the glass to swirl around
Maybe they're afraid to feel the burn
of that poison going down

Give me the swill from an old pot still
I can take or leave the peat
New moonshine from up in the hills
I ain't afraid to try that heat

An old bottle poured into a glass
Drink it down and then repeat
When I'm drinkin I'm drinking my whiskey neat

You can have an
Old Fashioned or a Rye Manhattan
With the maraschino cherries as is the fasion
a Whiskey sour or a Sazerac
But I don't know why you're holding back

I like to taste the juice of the barley
aged in barrels til it's nice and caramely
Water of life, ain't it sweet
I'll take the best you can hold the peat

I was taught by a wise old man
to appreciate my sins
When I'm drinking a well poured dram
I want to taste all of what's within

This old bar makes some fine cocktails
I'm told they can't be beat
I wouldn't know I'm drinking my whiskey neat

I like to taste the juice of the barley
aged in barrels til it's nice and caramely
Water of life, ain't it sweet
I'll take the best you can hold the peat

This old bar makes some fine cocktails
I'm told they can't be beat
I wouldn't know I'm drinking my whiskey neat
I wouldn't know I'm drinking my whiskey neat
I wouldn't know I'm drinking my whiskey neat
