WATERPROOF is a Sherry-influenced malt whisky from a handful of top distilleries, batch bottled at higher than normal strength.
The name and looks are inspired by 'Water' and 'Strength' (Proof) and by the Scottish inventor of the much-needed raincoat (the Mac), Charles Macintosh.
WHY WATERPROOF?
‘Water’because we have plenty and it is essential to whisky-making.
‘Proof’because it is the old spirit strength measuring scale. Once strength was ‘proven’ with gunpowder – later with a more peaceful hydrometer. In 1980 British Proof Spirit changed to Alcohol Percentage.
‘WaterProof’because it is sensible outdoor wear and this whisky is bottled at higher strength and can handle water.
