But yeah, according to wiki, you've pretty much got it right:
  • Water from a stream (a term primarily used in the southern United States)
  • Addition of plain water rather than soda water to a mixed drink (for example, "Bourbon and branch" refers to Bourbon whiskey with plain water)
  • When a whisky is ‘cut’ (i.e. watered down) prior to bottling, the water that is used is very important to the final product. The preferred source of water is called ’branch water’. Branch water comes directly from the stream that the distillery is built on...
Why thank you! That was interesting, and now I know!
