I have a "proof and tralle" float that will work for neutral alcohols like vodka, but it gives me incorrect readings for whiskey. I just bought a cheap American whiskey where the label says it has an alcohol content of 35%, but man it tastes so watered down and my "proof" float says 20%. But before I send them an e-mail and blast them I would like to find out for sure. It was a new whiskey being "pushed" at our local LCBO called "SpiceBox". Damn Americans and their watered down booze...
Just buy premium alcohol and you don't have to waste your time and money. I never actually thought about testing the quality of alcohol, though. That's a pretty intelligent thing to go, though.
