What about: "Scotch whisky is normally distilled twice to around 130 or 140 proof"? - User:Olivier
We don't need to list every definition, because Wikipedia is not a dictionary. However, if there is (or could be) a Wikipedia article on this concept (I don't know) and you know what it is (or should be) called (I don't), then go ahead and add it. — Toby 08:36 Sep 19, 2002 (UTC)
I was asking because I don't know what this one is. I assume it is a unit in some system, and could be included somewhere in a list of units. So if anyone knows, that would be helpful. - User:Olivier
It's a scale for measuring the alcohol content of beverages. The unit is "degrees" (100 degrees proof, etc). It's mostly an obsolete system, having been mostly replaced by ABV. - Khendon
Would you mind editing the Scotch article accordingly, if you think it is useful? (I am not familiar with the topic and might make an erroneous input. - User:Olivier
Er, I was just reading some stuff about degrees proof, and it's apparently something to do with the temperature at which the stuff would burn...
a quick look on the net gave good results
