British Water Is Top
British Bottled Water Producers’ member, Speyside Glenlivet, has been deemed by the Financial Times to be amongst ‘The top five sparkling mineral waters’.According to FT Weekend correspondent, Rebecca Rose, Speyside Glenlivet Natural Mineral Water “stems from the highest spring in the UK, from the Braes of Glenlivet, where the source is shared with the world-famous makers of that other ‘water for life’ – whisky”. The article adds that it is “a fine companion for a bottle of wine on your dining table”.
Other fine British waters, perfect for adorning the dining table, and which are also members of the select British Bottled Water Producers’ network include:
Abbey Well Natural Mineral Water – from Northumberland in the North of England. Abbey Well’s water fell as rain or snow 3,000-4,500 years ago – well before the age of pollution. It has been described by a leading taster as having a ‘Neutral nose, a little salty, but not intrusive. More structure on the palate, i.e. hard water firmness’.
Brecon Carreg Natural Mineral Water – from near Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire, in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The water filters over a period of around 15 years beneath a protective mantle of millstone grit to the Brecon Carreg borehole. The Brecon Carreg borehole penetrates to a depth of 240 feet, and delivers naturally purified water with a uniquely refreshing taste.
Tau Spring Water - from mid-Wales. Tau is sourced from a natural aquifer. Lighter, slightly sweet and with a soft and neutral taste.
Ty Nant Natural Mineral Water – from mid-Wales. Ty Nant is sourced from a borehole 80 metres in depth. A neutral, soft, well-balanced water with a light and natural taste and award-winning packaging.
All these waters, including Speyside Glenlivet, come in still as well as sparkling variants.
