Is vodka stronger or whiskey?

Depends on the bottling distillation. Both Vodka and Gin are typically bottled anywhere from 80 to 100 proof. If a bottle of gin and a bottle of vodka both state on their label that they are "100 proof", they are identically "strong". If you get a bottle of vodka that is 80 proof, and a bottle of gin that is 94 proof, the gin is stronger, and so on.

How much does a gallon of whiskey weigh?

It depends on a number of factors but roughly speaking beer weighs a fraction more than water, in metric units about 1050Kg per cubic metre.

To convert that into pounds per cubic feet divide by 16.02

The next stage in the calculation depends on what country you are in - for example if you are using UK Gallons you would divide your answer by 6.23 and arrive at a figure of approximately 10 1/2 LB per UK gallon.

I hope that this helps!

Percentage of alcohol in whisky?

It depends. Whiskey is a distilled liquor, water is usually added after the distillation and then the whiskey is aged in oak barrels to get a characteristic flavor. A whiskey's alcohol content is marked by a proofing label. This proof is an indication of the percentage of alcohol. 100 proof whiskey is 50% alcohol. some whiskeys are 40 proof, on the low end, and others are as high as 180 proof. Moonshine is not whiskey, it is not aged, that can range from 100 proof to 195 proof.

Is 40 year old unopened seagrams VO Canadian whiskey safe to drink?

No. Well, any alcoholic beverage is dangerous, if you drink enough of it. But 40 proof is not very strong. Most liquors -- vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, etc. -- are 70 or 80 proof (35% to 40% alcohol). Some are even higher. Everclear is 190 proof (in some places), and Bacardi 151 is 151 proof. Forty proof is relatively low.

Proof standards are slightly different in different countries. In the US, 40 proof is 20% alcohol; in the UK it would be a bit under 23%. In either case it's higher than can be obtained by straight fermentation (for example, wines or beers), but lower than distilled beverages. A 40 proof beverage is most likely a "fortified wine", such as port, sherry, or vermouth.

Are old George Dickel whiskey bottles worth anything?

The dark brown bottle with a curved neck and leather holster was used in a Star Trek episode or two, and one of them is in the Science Fiction Museum in Seattle. Thus, it has a degree of collectible pedigree. $20- $35, perhaps. The bottle was made by Sloan Glass in W.Va. -- a successor company to Bischoff Glass, which has some aficionados. Dickel also had Sloan manufacture a huge golf club head and shaft, which it used as a bottle as well. It falls in the same price range, if it has the golf ball as a stopper.

What does whiskey contain?

Whisky (Scottish English) or whiskey(Hibnero-English) is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. Different grains are used for different varieties, including barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat, and maize (corn). Whiskey is aged in wooden casks, made generally of white oak, except that in the United States corn whiskey direct form the stil is sometimes surreptitiously sold as "White Lightning" and is not aged. But well-aged-in-oak corn whiskey is the American "bourbon", or (depending on still process) "Sour Mash", and is well aged in wood. Whisky is a strictly regulated spirit worldwide with many competing denominations of origin and many classes and types. The typical unifying characteristics of the different classes and types are the fermentation of grains, distillation, and aging in wood. Indian whiskey is an exception, where grain fermentation is not a requirement and the most common basis is fermented molasses. The requirement for aging in wood is also not entirely universal.
