The Calibration Bench
How Much Should You Add?
Tell it what you are pouring and where you want the glass to land. A cask-strength dram needs considerably more water than a 40% blend, which is exactly the sort of thing people guess wrong.

6.9 ml HANCER
30 ml at 43.0% → 36.9 ml in the glass at 35.0% ABV.
SPLASH
A small splash, softens the heat.
A guide for the ritual, not a rule. Many connoisseurs begin with a few measured drops and calibrate to taste. One 250 ml can serves multiple pours.
