Should you chill your whiskey?

Whiskey is considered best at room temperature, or 60-65 °F (15-18 °C). When whiskey is chilled or ice is added, it tends to destroy or dilute some of the intended flavor notes. Ice can be added to reduce the alcohol burn, but it's a good idea to try it straight first.

Does whiskey have to be refrigerated?

Spirits like whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, etc. don't need to be refrigerated because the high alcohol content preserves their integrity. And most liqueurs also have a satisfactorily high alcohol content, as well as sugar that also helps to keep the flavors preserved.
