My Passion For Appreciating Whisky
For seven years, I had the privilege of being employed by some of the most prestigious Whisky distilleries in Scotland: Glenmorangie, Dalmore, Ardbeg, and Isle of Jura. This gave me the opportunity to work with some of the world’s most respected distillers and blenders who would encourage the addition of water to a dram, not just as part of the whisky-making process but also at tastings and masterclasses.
Their reason? Adding water removes the alcohol prickle and opens up the aromas and flavors for greater appreciation. Recent scientific studies have demonstrated that the addition of water enhances the experience. On discovering that the chemistry of the water makes a difference and that the best water to add is the water that made the whisky, I sensed an opportunity.
‘Surely every dram deserves the best possible Spring water’
And so Uisge Source was born (pronounced ‘oosh-guh’ Scottish Gaelic for water).
Spring waters from private sources either close to, or from distilleries in the whisky regions of Scotland. The chemistry of Uisge Source waters matches the chemistry of the waters used in whisky distillation in each region to make the ideal complement for your dram:Hard, mineral-rich spring water from the Highlands for adding to Highland malts.Soft, low-mineral spring water from Speyside for adding to Speyside Malts.Islay Spring water with higher natural acidity for adding to Islay Malts.
Five years on, we ship our bottled spring waters to more than twenty countries.
And while you listen to the debates about how to drink whisky, perhaps remember what legendary Scottish Entertainer, Chic Murray suggested:“There are only two rules for drinking whisky:Rule Number 1Never take whisky without water,Rule Number 2 Never take water without whisky.”

Product REVIEWS
“I attended a Scotch Malt Whisky Society tasting in London on Tuesday evening and was introduced to Uisge Source Water. I was blown away with the presentation by Graeme Lindsay, his explanation & theory behind Uisge Source was superb but of course the most important part of the evening was the tasting, both my friends and I were amazed at how differently a single malt could taste just with a change in the water (it obviously makes sense….. now).Suffice to say, anyone who enjoys a Single Malt MUST try this water, its fantastic, I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

“The really cool thing about Uisge Source is that it’s not just water they sourced from these regions; they actually tell you about the chemistry of the water. I was suprised at how much these waters with sublte differences brought out pronounced differences in the whisky and to find that each water tasted best with its regional water! Awesome”.

“While still sitting in front of my notes and glasses during each tasting, I was quite simply astounded. I was laughing out loud out of the sheer joy of being proven so wrong. Each region’s water’s impact on whisky was indeed dramatic and individual. Now, I stand before you amused and more than a little humbled. The experience of combining regionally-sourced water with complementary whiskies was far more illuminating than I had anticipated”.
