Re: 40%
"No, the reason they "stuck" at 40 is because anything less than 40 can't be called whisky."
That rather begs the question though.
If whisky was better more diluted then the legal minimum ABV would be lower - or at least there would be pressure from the industry for it to be so as who wouldn't want to sell more water and less expensive distillate, particularly if it tasted nicer to the customer?
