Edinburgh is fortunate to have a reliable and high-quality water supply. The water is sourced from several reservoirs, including the Pentland Hills, Threipmuir Reservoir, and Glencorse Reservoir. These sources provide a natural and abundant supply of fresh water, however the mineral content within the water can vary, with many Edinburgh businesses and residents experiencing the detrimental effects of water hardness.

To tackle the effects of hard water in Edinburgh, residents often turn to water softening methods. Water softeners, such as ion exchange systems or salt-based systems, can effectively remove the minerals responsible for water hardness, preventing limescale buildup and its associated issues.

In recent years, the city has also gained recognition for its burgeoning craft distillery scene. Several small distilleries have emerged, each with its own unique character and flavour profiles. One crucial aspect of the production process for these distilleries is the use of reverse osmosis in their water production.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water treatment process that has gained popularity in the whisky industry due to its ability to produce high-quality, consistent water.

Through reverse osmosis, distilleries can ensure consistency in the water’s composition, regardless of variations in the local water supply. This is particularly valuable for distilleries that aim to create a specific flavour profile for their whiskies. By starting with a neutral water source, they can focus on other factors, such as the selection of malted barley, yeast strains, and cask types, to influence the final flavour characteristics of their spirits.
