The Final Cut Speyside

Product Description

Adding water to whisky

Distilleries sometimes cut their whiskies with water before bottling. This makes the whisky taste the way they think is best. & that's OK in principle; adding water can be an important part of enjoying whisky.  

Cask strength whisky can have a high percentage of alcohol. Adding a little water removes any alcohol prickle it might have & allows the whisky to open up.  As the whisky relaxes, it unlocks more flavour molecules; which means you’ll be able to enjoy more aromas & pick out new tasting notes.

We want to put you in control of that process with The Final Cut, which gives you everything you need to create your perfect dram
- cut to your taste.  These limited edition sets are available exclusively from The Single Cask.

100ml of 10 year old single cask  Benrinnes whisky, bottled by The Single Cask at cask strength of 58.4%, without chill filtration or added colour. 

A Glencairn, whisky’s official glass which is designed to help you nose whisky & fully appreciate its complexities.

100ml of Uisge Source  Speyside spring water, drawn from a private well near the  Benrinnes distillery specifically selected to match the chemistry of the  Speyside water used to make the  Benrinnes whisky.

A glass pipette, so you can control the exact amount of  Speyside spring water you want to add to your cask strength Benrinnes, drop by drop.

To make the final cut, pour a measure of your cask strength whisky into your Glencairn glass.  Take a sip neat & see how you find it.  Add the Uisge Source spring water drop by drop, using your pipette. Try & see what aromas & flavours you find. Repeat until you find the exact amount of water that makes the dram perfect for your tastes.

Everyone is different. We’d love to hear how much spring water you add to your whisky.  Please share a photo on social media telling us the number of drops you’ve used
