title_body: Pre-chilled spirits - is there a content difference?
upvoted_answer: Depending on how cold your gin would be served at, it aromas may be altered.
  
  As a spirit gets warmer, it releases more volatiles, compounds that easily vaporize. We know that if a spirit is too hot, the smell of pure alcohol can be overwhelming. However, when a spirit is too cold, the aromas and tastes might seem downright non-existent. This applies to whiskeys and gins especially. 
  
  Cold gins may be okay for some, but I prefer to be able to truly taste my gins. That is why I would only add ice to it, if I had to. Even at that, I truly doubt anyone in my family would chill their gin or put ice in it. 
  
  But then, to each his own!
