<div dir="ltr">RT is on point here:<br><br>"Mashing takes place using water from three springs in the flat lying land at Qrquil about two miles west of the distillery. This water is hard. There is a general belief that soft water must be used for Scotch whisky <i>but this is incorrect</i>. Much of the water in Scotland is soft the rain having flowed over crystalline rock. But in areas of limestone and sandstone hard water emerges and such supplies are used in well known distilleries such as Glenmorangie, Glenkinchie and Highland Park. The water which percolates through the sandstone becomes rich in carbonates and sulphates and such is the process water used in Scapa."
