On Wednesday, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced that a recall of Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin, issued the previous day, had been expanded nationwide after officials discovered that one rogue batch had managed to escape the bottling plant much stronger than it should have been.
In emails, Amy Federman, a spokeswoman for Bacardi, which owns Bombay Sapphire, said that “a few cases” hiding somewhere in Canada contained gin with an alcohol content by volume of 77 percent, rather than the 40 percent shown on the bottles’ labels. That means the recalled gin ended up being 154 proof instead of 80 proof.
“Other than the higher than normal alcohol content, the product is within specifications, and there have been no reported illnesses,” Ms. Federman said. “However, we do not recommend consumption of the product.”
The company is asking consumers to return the recalled products to their local stores for a refund. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency offered the same suggestion, and also proposed a more radical one. “Recalled products,” the agency said, “should be thrown out.”
Upon further questioning, Ms. Federman specified that the Bombay Sapphire had been recalled “because the label was incorrect to what was in the bottle.”

The vapor infusion is done before diluting it, so in all likelihood it's exactly the same as regular bombay sapphire only without the extra water, so in effect you get twice as much of the product you paid for.
Christopher Wilson
If you want to get really willy-nilly, then there's a slight bit more than 480ml of pure ethanol and 20ml of pure water. Long story made short, the molecules of the mixture are packed more densely than the separate pure compounds.

You would have to know the volume of water and ethanol before they mixed, by which you can then divide the volume of ethanol pre-mixing to the volume of everything in the solution, and have the volume fraction of ethanol it's less than 1ml of difference over half a liter

It's a fucking meme liquor, riding the coat tails of the rye craze. If you see anything come from a large company like that it is guaranteed shit quality. Just buy Rittenhouse or find an old school whiskey distiller like W.L. Weller if you want to splurge. Knob creek is okay if you really want to meme out.

No, that's actually the exact opposite of what I was implying. Everything we eat has been altered to suit our wants and needs.
As far as ethics are concerned, other methods like exposing seeds to radiation and just brute-forcing the mutations we want are pretty fucked up.
People were scrambling to buy it because it won "world whiskey of the year 2016". I bet half the bottles they sold won't be opened for another 20 years, lmao.
Moderation, user. Anything is toxic in large enough amounts.
We still alter their gene pools by harvesting them, man. When people started fishing with nets in the "New World", they'd get ridiculous hauls. Recent studies have shown that fish now have the behaviour of dodging the nets entirely, so our estimates of fish populations have been vastly off for a long time.

It's probably the best bang/buck in terms of Vodka out here in Ontario. It's a Polish potato vodka. It's about as cheap as Smirnoff, but with a much cleaner taste.

Dude, just because you only know the most mainstream of American beers doesn't mean that's representative of overall quality. That'd be like judging Canadian beer based off of Molson when we have fantastic beers, meads and ciders being made all over the country.

That's just a dumb idea. Because of the difference in how anhydrous alcohol is produced the primary impurity you will find in it is methanol, which is extremely poisonous.
Enjoy your brain damage.

We may not get it here then but I refuse to drink Smirnoff Russian Standard is my minimum standard. I can drink any vodka with a mixer but i wouldn't recommend drinking Smirnoff, Imperial (or anything of similar or lower quality) neat
