Water, engineered for whisky.
Technical Specification
The Spec Sheet.
We document water the way a distillery documents a new expression. Every variable is measured, recorded, and controlled — because the margin between good and exceptional is measured in parts per million.
The Build
How Plezure
is engineered.
Most mineral waters are not designed for dilution. They are designed for the glass. Plezure begins from a different premise: what does this water do when it meets whisky?
High-TDS water competes with the spirit. Carbonation lowers pH and pushes aromatics off the surface before the whisky opens. Over-soft water kills the structure. Plezure resolves all three tensions.
It is still, not sparkling — dilution alone weakens the bonds holding volatile aromatics, letting them reach the nose as the whisky opens. No carbonic bite, no interference. The result is a diluted dram that is more expressive, not less.
Every batch is tested against three whisky styles before release: an Indian single malt at tropical-aging intensity, a peated Islay, and a delicate Speyside. Plezure must perform across all three.
How to Pour
The ritual.
The Glass
A Glencairn or tulip glass. The narrow rim concentrates aromatics — the dilution does the rest.
Temperature
Serve Plezure at 8–10°C. Cold enough to be refreshing, warm enough not to shock a complex whisky.
The Ratio
Equal parts — 1:1 whisky to Plezure — is the standard. Add gradually and taste as you go. The goal is opening the nose, not diluting it to silence.
Order of Pour
Whisky first, then Plezure in a slow circular pour. This mixes gently without over-aerating.
Pairing Notes
By whisky style.
Indian Single Malt
1:1High ABV tropical aging creates dense fruit and spice. Plezure at 1:1 opens the mid-palate without dulling the finish.
Peated / Islay
1:1Smoke aromatics are water-soluble. Add Plezure gradually toward 1:1 to lift phenolic complexity and reveal fruity undercurrents the peat can hide.
Sherried / Speyside
1:1Rich, dense expressions benefit from careful dilution. Bring Plezure to 1:1 slowly to extend the finish without breaking the structure.
Bourbon
1:1American oak and vanilla benefit from dilution. Ease Plezure in toward 1:1 to open the spirit without losing sweetness.
Japanese
1:1Delicate florals are easily overwhelmed. Plezure's still, near-zero mineral profile is the only safe companion for a 12-year Nikka — added gradually to 1:1.

Plezure, answered.
What is Plezure whisky blending water? +
Plezure is a still blending water engineered specifically for whisky. It has very low total dissolved solids (under 50 mg/L) and a neutral pH of 7.0–7.2, so it opens a whisky’s aromatics through dilution alone — without adding competing mineral flavours or the carbonic bite of a sparkling water.
How much water should I add to whisky? +
A 1:1 ratio — equal parts whisky and Plezure — is the standard starting point. Add the water gradually and taste as you go; the goal is to lower the alcohol concentration just enough to release aromatic compounds, not to dilute the spirit into silence.
Why does low mineral content (TDS) matter for whisky? +
High-mineral water introduces calcium, sodium and magnesium that interact with the spirit — adding bitterness, a metallic edge or astringency. Plezure’s sub-50 mg/L TDS keeps the water neutral so you taste the whisky the distiller intended, not the water.
Does Plezure work with peated or Islay whisky? +
Yes. Smoke (phenolic) aromatics are water-soluble, so adding Plezure gradually toward 1:1 lifts peat complexity and reveals fruity undercurrents the smoke can otherwise hide. Ease the water in rather than pouring it all at once.
Is Plezure still or sparkling? +
Still. A blending water’s job is to lower the alcohol concentration so aromatics can escape, and still water does that cleanly. Carbonation lowers pH and pushes volatiles off too fast — which is why distilleries proof whisky down with still water, and why Plezure is still by design.
