Luckily never messed with Everclear, but can confirm after Bacardi 151 (proof) everything else tasted like water.

151 US proof is 76 percent alc/vol, known in Canada as 30 degrees over proof. It's a fairly common strength, e.g. Wray and Nephew in Jamaica.

When I lived in British Columbia back in the 1970s. they sold 3 strengths of Guyanese (Demarrera) rum: 30 under proof (40%). proof (54%) and 30 over proof (76%).

One thing I noticed doesn't make any logical sense. If you mix 1 oz of over-proof rum with 7 ounces of Coca-cola, it will hit you more than if you mix 2 ounces of under-proof with 6 oz of Coke, despite the fact that both drinks are the same size and the over-proof drink has less alcohol.

I guess that's why they call it spirits.

Coke has sugar .

And 7oz of coke has more sugar than 6 oz of sugar.

So the 151 drink has more sugar which will fuck you up with the extra sugar.

As a diabetic that still drinks i do not drink a mixed drink with any sugar.

Mostly tito's and plain seltzer on the side.

Or bourbon with an ice cube.

That 114 proof Old Grand Dad has great mouth feel multiple tastes and then finishes hot.

I WILL GO OUT AND FIND THE OTHER BOOZES TO MARK THE CLIMB OF PRICE.
