Water & Whisky
The Water Behind the Dram
Water and whisky share a deep Scottish connection. Many people enjoy a drop of water with their whisky, and the water they choose is part of the experience. There is no single correct way to drink whisky — the pleasure lies in discovering what suits you.
Why Seven Scots
A Soft, Scottish Water
Seven Scots is a naturally soft mineral water with a clean, light taste. If you enjoy a little water with your whisky, it is a considered choice.
Naturally Soft
Seven Scots is a naturally soft water with a light mineral profile and a clean, light taste — the same qualities some whisky drinkers look for when adding a drop of water to whisky.
A Considered Choice
Both are shaped by the Scottish landscape. For those who enjoy a little water with their dram, choosing a soft Scottish mineral water is a considered choice.
Entirely Your Own
There is no prescribed amount. Some prefer their whisky neat, others add a few drops. Start with a little and follow your own preference — the choice is yours.
