Splash of room temperature water enhances the taste for those who are not used to enjoying the Scotch neat (at full strength). Remember some cask strength Scotch goes up to 60% unlike your 43% variant, so it is a personal preference on the water part.

However, ice always masks the taste and should be avoided, unless you have to down the cheap nasty stuff.

It's really not rocket science, most Scotch drinkers consider the above basic knowledge, Google it yourself and you'll see.
