And now the ultimate Scotch 184 Proof!

Article.

A 184-proof whisky, and that's no blarney
LONDON (AFP) — Following a 17th century recipe, one of the eight artisanal whisky producers on the tiny Scottish isle of Islay will produce a dozen barrels of 184-proof whisky, the company announced.
That's 92% alcohol, which is about as strong as whisky can get without being sold in a pharmacy.

"The first taste affects all the members of the body," a 1695 description of the elixir reads. "Two spoonfuls of this last liquor is a sufficient dose — if any man should exceed this, it would presently stop his breath, and endanger his life."

The Bruichladdich distillery said it would install webcams so that customers thirsty with anticipation could watch the potentially lethal concoction come into being.

"If the distillery doesn't explode during the process," Bruichladdich added.


Cheers, ladies and gentlemen!

Wow! That is some potent whiskey. I like overproof rums, and I like them straight (but very well chilled with a rock or two in them to take some of the bite away some), but I doubt that I could handle that whiskey straight. It definately sounds like a mixer alcohol to me.

500 is a nice round number, either followed by "Nitro Express" or by "cubic inch displacement".
