Scotch drinkers tends to pride themselves as more sophisticated and civilized. So the term "neat" is prefered over "straight up". Both means - straight from the bottle, no ice, no chilling. Many a scotch drinkers are from the school of "keep my whisky PURE"

It means you just want scotch in a glass, nothing else...
You can use it with any spirit, Tequila neat, Vodka neat, etc.
