That's 135 proof...check me if I'm in error here, but I believe that yeast have difficulty surviving when the alcohol content gets up in the neighborhood of 20%. Is this stuff actually brewed to produce that much alcohol? Looks like it would be much easier to just add the extra alcohol.

Looks like they used freezing to up the content. I imagine, they freeze it and poor off the liquid that doesn't freeze, it would be high in alcohol. Unlike using a distiller to raise the alcohol content.

Ain't that the truth! I'd like to taste it, but doubt that I'd want any more than a taste anyway.:laughing:
