I have given a few bottles of spirits away to mates that have helped me out and they all say it's smooth as fk. But ask what % as they say the can feel it after 1 drink.
I can read an alcometer and know to temp correct it but even if it wasn't temp corrected it would be lower than 40% if it read 40% since it's over 20°c.
And it's always around 40% corrected give or take 1%.
Does home made spirits affect you more or because it's so much smoother you subconsciously put more in?
I have probably built up a tolerance so don't notice it but literally everyone that has had some says the same thing.
Anyone else have this issue?
