In the uk and europe whisky strength is 40-43% ABV. A friend brought me back from his hols a bottle of 100% US Proof whisky. What would be the ABV strength of the 100% US proof whisky?. I did send this message to William Grant Distillery a few weeks ago but they have not thought my request worthy of a reply.
many thanks Rob
Unless US proof is bigger than every body else's proof 100 Proof (not % proof) is 50%, i.e. cask strength. Have a look at:
Hope that helps, Bob
BTW - dug out my 26yr Springbank for a special occasion, I'd forgotten how good it is; shame there's only a 1/4 of a bottle left!
That the Signatory cask strength version? If so, it is certainly a shame, I just finished my last bottle, really wish I'd bought a case...

UK proof = ABV x 1,75
US proof = ABV x 2

It is very simple Rob, just devide by two. 100 proof is 50% volume percentage. The English once used an old way of calculating, compeltely different from what we have now. That is history! For now.... 80 proof is 40% !

Looking at my two bottles with "proof " on the label it looks like Gunnar is right
Glenfarclas 105 is 60% abv
Springbank 100 is 57% abv
