Mizuwari is the quintessential Japanese way to enjoy a balanced whisky. By combining one part Suntory Special Reserve with two to three parts chilled water and ice, you unlock a delicate aromatic profile that is often hidden at full strength.
Begin by filling a highball glass with large, clear ice cubes. Stir the whisky to chill the glass, then add the water slowly. The result is a refreshing, light, and incredibly smooth drink that pairs perfectly with light appetizers.
This ritual emphasizes the harmony of the blend, allowing the subtle notes of the whisky to breathe and integrate with the water. It is a testament to the Japanese philosophy of balance and precision in every glass.
