100° proof – about 57.15% alcohol by volume – is an iconic bottling strength. Not only was it popular in decades past, but the extra strength over standard bottlings has helped preserve the flavour and character of old and rare bottles. Join show organiser Angus MacRaild for a chance to try a selection of scarce pre-1980s bottlings, all at 100° proof, and all tasting superb after more than 40 years in glass.
