A distillery in Scotland is planning to produce the world's
strongest whisky. The single-malt whisky will be distilled four
times, while whisky is ordinarily distilled only twice. At 92 percent alcohol, the malt will have more than double
the alcohol content of ordinary whiskies. The distillery is engaging in the project in an attempt to replicate the
Scottish drink described in a 1695 travel book, The Western Isles of Scotland, which contains what is
considered to be the world's oldest whisky-tasting note. The book also includes a warning that the drink takes effect
immediately, so by imbibing any more than two spoonfuls, "it would presently stop his breath and endanger his
life". Despite the warning, the distillery manager believes that the whisky will have a floral note to it. They
expect to produce approximately 5000 bottles.Posts with tag distill
