| 705764 | 2008-09-18 03:17:00 | You're wrong. Who is wrong, and what is he wrong about? If you mean Deane F, he is right in saying 90 proof does not equal 90% alcohol. Proof and % are two totally different things. Proof spirit is a spirit containing 50% of alcohol by volume at a temperature of 60 degrees F. Each degree of proof is equal to one half of one percent of alcohol. Therefore a spirit of 90 proof contains 45% of alcohol and a spirit of 150 proof contains 75% of alcohol. Formerly absinthe used to be bottled at a proof of 136 (or 68% alcohol), but I am not sure what proof it is now. |

| 705766 | 2008-09-18 08:34:00 | My "Collins Gem" whisky reference book says of Oban 14 year old strength 43% taste rating 2-3 comments - an intriguing complex malt with a full Island character which is balanced by a soft highland finish. Glenfiddich, on the other hand, is rated a 2, which means that it is a slightly softer. If you are not that used to single malts then it should suit. However I see that you are used to a Glenlivet, which is rated 3-4, so your tastes are a bit stronger. My preference is a Glenmorangie (with addition of about 40% water), which is also 3-4. However this is not a competition, it is about enjoyment. Give me a Glenfiddich, and I will not turn it down, but really be appreciative. Just enjoy !!! :thumbs: Misty :) :) :) |

| 705767 | 2008-09-18 10:07:00 | Never mind the island character, or even highland finish; Will the lawn mower run on it? I just checked, our water is all rated 100%. What do you dilute yours with to get 40% ;) |
