Liquid Death – Mountain Water

I’m not entirely sure this isn’t the same Liquid Death I reviewed back a few years ago—which was called “Sparkling Water”—because that was also in a black can with a gold, rotting, dripping skull—but I don’t have the two (at the same time) to compare. Also, since Liquid Death has a lot of flavors with funny names—but I can’t drink any of them (some form of sugar in them) —this is another chance for a “Taste o’ Death!” It’s “Mountain Water”—and apparently that’s literal, because the water source listed on the can says: “Rocky Mountains (Mackay, Idaho) and/or Blue Ridge Mountains (Bland, Virginia).” So, that implies that you’re getting one or the other or a mixture of the two. Now, one might assume that those two sources taste slightly different—at least to the connoisseur. I wonder if there are huge Liquid Death geeks who can tell the difference, and they prefer one over the other? Like, a dude might say: “It’s best when you have 60/40, Virginia/Idaho ratio.” Or, “The Idaho water is better, more mineral content. The Virginia water is too bland.” Or vice versa. Is there really a place called Bland, Virginia? There is—birthplace of Bob Williams! What food do they feature, and what bands are invited to the Bland Festival? Unsalted rice cakes. On the main stage, “Take It Easy: A Tribute to The Eagles.” The can is an excellent, gnarly tallboy—19.2 ounces, which must have some significance, somewhere, right?
