The Strong Water Co

The Strong Water Co.

brings a traditional, old-school independent drinks merchant experience to the heart of Ballater on Royal Deeside. Located at 2 Bridge Street, Ballater, the shop specialises in carefully curated wines, Champagne, Prosecco, craft beers, Scottish gin, single malt Scotch whisky and a wide range of premium spirits.

Every bottle is selected for its quality, character and story — from family-run vineyards and independent distilleries to small-batch producers. In Ballater, customers are encouraged to rediscover the enjoyment of buying drinks in person — with expert guidance, personalised recommendations and the opportunity to learn more about what they are choosing.

It’s a return to a more thoughtful way of shopping, where tasting, conversation and discovery are part of the experience. Each visit is designed to leave customers with something new — whether that’s a perfectly chosen bottle or a better understanding of the world behind it..
