Stop in for a drink.

Had some family over for "Extra Christmas" this past weekend, and my brother gave me this:

Don't know anything about it, as I'm more of a single malt drinker (Macallan 12 year being one of my favorites), so I'm at a loss as to how to drink this. Straight, or on the rocks? And is this a "sipping whiskey" (I've never understood that phrase)?

Going over to share NYE with some friends of ours, and most likely I'll wait to open this until then.
@toolmanmike will square you away.

Mixing versus sipping... Some whiskeys need to be hidden a bit.... Good ones are best just as they are. "Sipped"

Personal preference just like your single malts

"Neat" (by itself) or with a water on the side

I generally go ice cube, but I use the very big cubes so the melt isn't as fast. Some people like to let the glass sweat a bit after the ice is added

Simple cocktail like an Old Fashioned is easy

However you'd like

Thing is, enjoy it .. And with friends is the best
