It is often described as the water of life, but this particular dram could leave you gasping for breath. Tomorrow, the Islay-based Bruichladdich distillery, on the west coast of Scotland, will revive the ancient tradition of quadruple distilled single malt. The process will produce the world's strongest whisky at 92 per cent.
Centuries ago, people drank it as a cure for colic, smallpox and other common diseases. But according to the world's oldest whisky tasting note, written more than 300 years ago by the traveller Martin Martin, anything more than two spoonfuls could prove fatal. In 1696, he wrote: '... two spoonfuls of this last liquor is a sufficient dose; if any man should exceed this, it would presently stop his breath, and endanger his life.'
The whisky is expected to become a collector's classic with only 12 barrels being produced.

They apparently never had any Tennessee Moonshine

I doubt they felt the need......  ;)

At 92 percent how are you going to be able to tell it is single malt? Might just as well buy a bottle of cheap Pure Grain alcohol. Then pour it up into a mason jar add charred oak chips and wait 12 years. At that proof no one will be able to tell the difference. My Granddad kept food on the table during the great depression making Arkansas moon. I have 2 quart jars I inherited thru my Father that were produced in 1934. I sip out of one on special occasions. Very Smooth! Proofs out at 110 proof or 55 percent. The oldest of my own production is a 5 gallon barrel of plum brandy I made in 1985.
