Sharp List: Old Limestone Mixing Water
With countless varieties of bourbon, whisky or scotch and a wealth of flavourful nuances to be uncovered by the addition of just a drop of water, it’s a wonder we haven’t put more thought into the water we’re actually dropping in. Most of us, we’ll assume, possess an H2O particular or two. Some opt for Brita over tap, while others have an affinity for Dasani, and then there are the devout Evian-ers who would never ever stray. So why wouldn’t these flavour factors come into account when we’re making ice cubes for our whisky, or adding some eau to our bourbon? This Old Limestone Mixing Water is the official companion of Kentucky Bourbon, and it’s limestone-filtered to keep it pure and sweet-tasting, while keeping it free of iron deposits and other not-so-fine flavours.
