Some whiskeys are flattened by a drop of water too. The legs, when you swirl the glass you sometimes see legs of whiskey running down, are the only whiskeys that i have noticed that benefit more often than not from water. By benefit i mean a flavour explosion.
High alcohol content for me is not something i care about. If its 60% and flavour explosion its fine.

I have a bottle of Aberlour here at almost 60% that definitely benefits from a drop of water and a bottle of Redbreast 12 which is about the same. I haven't tried the Soloist. But agree that it's just a drop, very easy to mess it up by adding too much water and weakening the flavours. I actually find cask strength whiskeys really frustrating for that very reason
