BSC Episode 51: Elijah Craig Barrel Proof

2 years ago

Bourbon cannot be distilled at higher than 160 proof, and it must go into the barrel at 125 proof or lower. This keeps it from turning into a spirit more akin to vodka. Distillers add water to "proof it down" to 125 or less. At the time of bottling, bourbon cannot be lower than 80 proof. Sorry for the mix up on the episode. Humans make mistakes time to time.
