This post will be short and sweet, to the point. I’ve had a question about what does “proof” mean when it comes to a whisky? It’s simple. Alcohol content.
Let’s say a whisky is 100 proof. Half of 100 is 50. Therefore, it’s 50% ABV.
Let’s say a whisky is 120 proof. That would be 60% ABV.
Take the Knob Creek Single Barrel Select above. It’s 115 proof. Half of 115 equals 57.5. Take a look at the bottom left hand corner of the bottle. It says 57.5% ABV.
And there you have it. The proof may be in the pudding, but it’s the labelling too.
