Yes, a second on the spring water. It really ought to be the same water it was initially diluted with, but that would be difficult to get for most people . Mineral water at a pinch as long as it has a low mineral content (ie. no taste).

Unless of course you have cask strength whisky, which you ought to dilute at least a little bit or you will numb your tastebuds.
Cask strength whisky is great, instead of getting whisky at a strength that someone thinks you want it (around 40% abv), you get it as it actually comes out of the barrel and you get to choose the strength all by yourself. As if you were a grown-up.
