Talk:Cask strength

Merge?
Is this ever going to be much more than a definition, that would sit better within the main whisky article? FlagSteward 14:31, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Numbers?
I was linked here and found myself curious as to what kind of %ABV "cask strength" would actually refer to. The article states that whisky is usually diluted to around 40%, but from what? Just curious but it seems like relevant information. 81.141.225.147 (talk) 18:14, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Dilution standards?
Of course, even cask strength whiskies have usually been subjected to some dilution in order to match what is printed on the label, but I am curious: are there any industry or regulatory limitations on how much dilution is allowed before it may no longer be considered "cask strength"? I'm guessing not. . .because the dilution only affects flavor balance, and regulations, at most, are only concerned with origin, process/components, and strength. Still, it would be interesting to know that somewhere on Islay, there could potentially be a 10-year-old cask of full-flavored, 65%ABV Laphraoig that is sadly about to be mixed with 12% water to match the 57.8% on the cask-strength label.

 * Please see the updated article content. There is a strict limit on the dilution in the U.S. market. Under ATF Ruling 79-9, if the whisky strength has been diluted more than 1% abv (2 points U.S. proof), it cannot be labelled "barrel proof" (in the U.S. market). I believe the 79 in the ruling name refers to a ruling date of 1979. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:04, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
