Cask Strength

This refers to any aged spirit that has not been diluted with water before bottling.

Sometimes known as ‘barrel proof’, this refers to any aged spirit (typically whisky) that has not been diluted with water before bottling. Most spirits that are bottled at cask strength will state this term on the label and while it varies, as a drinker you can typically expect a cask strength product to be in excess of 50% ABV (100 proof).
