Hmmph... Tullibardine whisky is made from the same source as Highland Spring - and at least according to Jim Murray's 'Whisky Bible' is as good or better than Glenlivet which presumably is connected to the water in some way.
I doubt really that the water is in any sense 'peaty' - it sells itself on the fact that it has 'exceptionally low mineral content' - water that contains any detectable amount of peat (soil in other words) is brown which tends not to be desirable in bottled water. Whisky gets its peatiness from the peat smoke used to dry out the malt - not in any meaningful amount from the water.
