Bulk-shipped and bottled locally — so whose water is actually in your whisky?
A large share of the whisky that crosses an ocean does so as spirit in a steel tank, not as bottles in a case. The water that takes it down to bottling strength is then added at the destination — which means the last and largest ingredient in the bottle was sourced thousands of kilometres from the distillery, by a company whose name is not on the front label.
