  “Is it Still Proof and Barrel Proof?”

  Posted by jlevac on April 11, 2014 at 12:31 am

  I’m curious to hear what you fine folks are aiming for proof from the still? Do you go all the way to 80% and then diluting it to meet the requirements of no more than 62.5% or staying around the max barrel proof?

  Cheers

  Our spirit run yields an aggregate proof of 151proof usually and we barrel at 118 proof for 30’s & 53’s and 10’s go in at 125 so far so good.

  Why the different proof for the 30s?

  Our proff going in s different for our 10’s not 30’s. No big reason, just tried it and the finished product I like better coming out of the barrel after it is proofed down. I have no scientific reasons, just empirical.
