I use alkaline (9.0ph)double filtered water. 1) because it tastes better and 2) the municipal supply in Nelson NZ sucks! Chlorine heavy, low quality. Our filter machine leaves in Calcium, Magnesium,Potassium - strips everything else out and has programable ph levels. Experimentation proves (to my palate) that all whisky responds well to this.

I totally get that each water used has its on character and flavour profiles. So has there been whisky bottled at say one plant and a later Batch bottled with a different water source at another site - which then proved to have a variation in taste? Obviously we get batch differences due to some other influences, but maybe a more consistent bottling that has maybe returned to the original bottling source which sees the liquids profile return? Whenever drinking it was passed on to me to have the water poured in a jug or glass to air and not too cold prior to adding into a whisky.

I wonder if water in a plastic bottle is tainted. I’m now thinking about the way a whisky can change in the bottle after opening may be due to the fluoride or chlorine evaporating and not just oxidation. At some point the whisky industry will latch on to the promotion of the ideal water to add to their latest offerings. Ralfy you have just added another layer of malt mystery. What next, glass versus porcelain versus metal for the drinking vessel?. I know, I know, it does change our perception. We know tea tastes better from our preferred cup. I think I’ll get a gold goblet to see if it helps!

I live in Edinburgh Scotland so we are blessed with soft water from the tap. Thanks again Ralfy for a very interesting topic that perhaps a lot of whisky drinkers don't think much about the impact of the type of water they add to their whisky.
