Jim Beam Bourbon Line: Proofs and Types
Jim Beam White Label is 80 proof on the Beam Distilling page used in this project. Bonded is 100 if labeled BiB. Other SKUs differ. Not a ranking.
Casamigos Reposado vs Blanco: What’s the Difference?
Casamigos Blanco and Reposado both print 40% ABV / 750 ml. Reposado is 6 months. Current NOM 1609 / hist. 1416. Not a score.
What Is Toasted-Barrel Bourbon?
Toasted-barrel is a cooperage/finish story, not a TTB class. Bourbon still needs new charred oak under 27 CFR 5.143. Proof is on the neck.
Potato Vodka: What the Label Has to Mean
No official best potato vodka. 27 CFR 5.142 allows any suitable material. Tito’s is corn. Typical 40% FLAG.
What Does 100-Proof Whiskey Mean?
100-proof whiskey is 50% ABV. A 1.5 oz pour is 1.25 standard drinks. Bottled-in-bond must be 100 proof; not every 100-proof bottle is bonded.
Non-Alcoholic Kahlúa Substitute: What the Label Has to Mean
No official Kahlúa substitute. US Original 20%; Ohio 21.5; other-market 16 — say the market. Coffee + sugar is 0%. No ranking.
How Many Ounces Are in a Keg of Beer?

Scotch vs Whiskey: What’s the Difference?
Scotch is whisky made in Scotland under the 2009 Regulations. Whiskey is the broader TTB class. Glenfiddich 12 US prints 40%. Typical US whiskey also often 40%. Not a winner.
Campari vs Vermouth: What’s the Difference?
Campari is a bitter liqueur. Vermouth is fortified aromatized wine. US Campari is typically 24% ABV; vermouth is often 15–18%. The IBA Negroni uses both. They are not substitutes one-for-one.
Best Blanco Tequila Under $50
Under $50 is the sticker that day. Blanco is a CRT age class, not a ranking. Look for 100% agave, a NOM, and the labeled ABV — most US blancos are 40%. A 1.5 oz pour is one drink. No invented MSRP.
