Not so - unless the mixer is designed to obliterate the taste of the
spirit rather than complement it. Certainly the case with a G&T.


BTW, many experience malt whisky drinkers add some water.


That is also my experience, especially with the ones suppled as 'cask
strength'. Having a small amount of water or ice can make it easier to
taste the distinctive features of the particular malt/finish.

Slainte,
