Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Coy Hill barrels reach such high proofs? Upper-floor Coy Hill barrels experience extreme temperature cycling that removes water faster than alcohol, concentrating the spirit. Standard Old No. 7 is 80 proof; Coy Hill can exceed 140 proof.
• How should 142.5 proof be served? A small amount of water or a single large ice cube significantly opens the aromatics. Neat tasting first is recommended before any dilution.
• Is this a hazmat whiskey? Yes — at 142.5 proof it exceeds the 140-proof federal hazmat threshold by 2.5 points.
