“Branch water”, originally sold by the distiller, was from the same stream (branch) from which the whiskey was made. Purists thought that complemented the whiskey.

If it was good enough for James Bond, it's good enough for me. I don't think it was ever shown in the movies, but the books (a couple anyway) had Bond drinking a Bourbon and Branch on occasion.

That had nothing to do with the alcohol. It had to do with boiling the water to make it, which killed the bacteria.

Beer and wine are not boiled to make it.

To boil either would eliminate the alcohol content.

For the ancient Greeks, only barbarians drank straight wine, undiluted by water.

” Why You Should Add Water to Your Whiskey ‘

Let me refer you back to one of your other threads for re-watered down whiskey. You could say that whiskey has no Sting to it.

Thank you. I have wondered about what “Branch water” was, and you gave us the answer.
