Eeek! No.
For fine single malt, one need only pour the malt into a tumbler or -- better yet -- a snifter, and then sit back and enjoy. Don't forget that at least half of the experience is in the nose. (if you find the alcohol flavor to pronounced, then this is when you carefully add a few drops of water to think the alcohol down and allow the malt flavors to come out.)
Start by looking at your whiskey. Admire its golden color, the way it glows in the glass, thw warmth of it.
Next, swirl it in the glass to release the aroma. Admire the "legs", the streaks formed on the side of the glass as the malt runs back to the bowl. The thinner the legs, the higher the proof which is how you can calibrate your addition of water. Allow your hand to gently warm the glass and the scotch just enough to further release those aromas.
Put your nose all the way into the glass and breath in deeply. Exhale through your mouth. Repeat several times to saturate the olfactories.
Now, sip just a sip. Roll it around on your tongue. Your tongue works in different regions, the tip, the sides, the middle, and the back. So, introduce the malt slowly through your mouth to each region and concentrate on what effect each has. While doing this, keep breathing in through the glass. 90% of taste is smell. Then, move the glass aside and concentrate on just the taste.
Swallow gently leaving your mouth coated with the scotch. Now, slowly inhale through your mouth and exhale through your nose to smell in reverse.
Savor the aftertaste.
Repeat.
And you have now had what I call the "whole body scotch experience."
