Spring Revival

the first melt of mountain water


One of the purest mineral waters
in the world



Water is often thought of as having vitality, energy, or life force, and there is something special in this living water that is difficult to quantify - a feeling, an understanding, and a deeper connection with the spirit.














Cheers!      Cheers!
Celebrate your new year with Spring Water


After a long Highland winter, spring finally arrives when everything comes back to life. The winter ice slowly melts into sweet, fresh mountain water, flowing slowly down the new shoots on the branches.
This is a gift from spring - the first thaw of the spring water.

Come and join us for a spring water tasting event!

















 







You will gather in the hills near Balmoral Castle to watch the rain spill over the rocks, listen to the springtime tunes played by the mountain streams, and feel the spring flowing through their fingers as they hold a handful of fresh water.





















Taste a sip of pure natural mountain spring water and receive the first bottle of first melt mountain water as a souvenir





Visit the mineral water factory in the
Pannanich Wells to see how natural
spring water is collected, filtered, and
packaged, and to learn about the story
and effects of Cairngorm mountain
springs.


























Take part in a water-tasting session with Scottish Mineral Water to compare the taste of the springs in different regions and get an insight into the unique charm of the Cairngorm.
