Right then let me explain first why tap water is not good with single malts or blends for that matter. I assume that most drinking water in the USA is treated with assorted chemicals such as chlorine,fluoride and tin to name three.Most of our water is in the UK. So adding extra tastes in the form of treated drinking water is not good if you want to savour the untainted taste of your scotch.

If you have clean, safe to drink, spring water, or, unpolluted water out of a borehole then that will be great. I expect you can get bottled genuine spring water, not tap water in bottles? That will be just perfect.

Of course if you drink your malt,as it should be, without water then the problem does not exist. Hope this helps.
