I Drank That: Clear Spring Grain Alcohol 190



As the name implies, this grain alcohol is 190 proof (95% alcohol). Due to the high alcohol content--as it is with any alcohol over 151 proof--this may not be available in your area. As a note, caution should be taken when consuming and handling this; see the caution warning on the bottom of label.


With such strong warnings, I definitely didn't want to try this neat. Instead, I poured half a shot into a glass of lemonade and ice. Although this is roughly equal to a full shot of vodka (80proof), the result was much different. The taste of the grain alcohol was non-existent. A friend and I surmised that with the high percentage of alcohol came a high purity--which meant fewer chemical compounds than you would normally taste.
