What is the alcohol percentage of Scotch Whiskey?

• A. 40%
• B. 37.5%
• C. 4%
• D. 32 mL

Answer: (A)

The strength of Scotch whisky is shown by its ABV, which stands for alcohol by volume. Most Scotch bottles are 40% ABV, which is the standard strength required for Scotch to be labeled as such. This means 40% of the liquid is ethanol. Some bottles can be higher (cask strength), but the typical strength you’ll see is 40%. Other options aren’t matching the common way we describe alcohol strength: a number expressed as a percentage is the right format, while 32 mL is a volume, not a percentage, and 4% or 37.5% would be unusually weak for Scotch whisky.
