What water to use with whiskey?

I read that using mineral water from the same location where the whisky is made is the best to mix with your favorite drink. I have also read that water with low sodium content is prefered. I use Spa water and Volvic to mix with whisky. What water do you use and why do you use it?

    is wrong to use water on whiskey, as maximum ice, so i don´t use any kind of water because whiskey is a distilled drink

    If you are a serious whisky drinker you NEVER add water to whisky.

    The biggest insult you could offer a Scotsman who offered you whisky would be to ask for water.

    I would only ever add ice to whiskey and then only if it was mediocre, the good stuff I drink straight and savour the taste.

    Tap water, because it's WATER for Christ's sake. I understand that maybe you can't use tap water because of where you live, but other than that it doesn't really matter, does it? It's WATER. I say again, WATER. Two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. If you are this concerned about image it's no wonder you drink.
