Frequently asked
What is "110 Proof"?
Distinctive US bottling strength designation — 110 Proof equals 55% ABV (US Proof ÷ 2 = ABV %). Distinctive higher-strength expression vs the standard 12 Year Sherry Oak (40% ABV) — delivers more intense flavour concentration, richer mouthfeel, and greater depth.
How is 110 Proof different from Cask Strength?
Distinctive nuance — 110 Proof is a specific bottling strength (55% ABV, achieved through controlled dilution to hit exactly 110 US Proof). Cask Strength means "no water added at all" — variable strength depending on cask (typically 55-65% ABV). 110 Proof gives consistent higher-strength character.
