When your taste buds mature and demand something a bit better is when you throw away the mixer to learn about the real thing.
Now a good Appleton Estate Royal white rum is something to enjoy definitely without the coke !!

Believe it or not, I've never heard of Whisky and Dry Ginger Ale. As I detest the latter, I won't be trying it though.
Don't forget that most of the world doesn't like the real thing of single malt Scotch, but instead prefers it blended down with neutral grain whisky (a chap named Mr. Usher discovered this fact, and thus made fortunes for whisky makers in Scotland).
I like to think of myself as Mr. Usher Mark 11 - blending the real thing down with something that wasn't then available to Mr. Usher.
