licores destilados con (grado alcohólico de) 80 grados proof
1) CONSIDERACIONES TECNOLÓGICAS. Las características de los productos dependen de las materias primas y de los procedimientos de obtención. Como durante el envejecimiento en madera se produce una
concentración debida a las “mermas”, antes de envasar hay que diluir hasta la graduación final deseada, pero
teniendo en cuenta que siempre que se mezclan etanol y agua se da una contracción de volumen, que puede
llegar a ser del 3,5 % (cuando hay otras sustancias presentes el grado de contracción puede variar). En la U.E.,
las etiquetas deben especificar la graduación como “% vol.”, aproximando al 0’5 más próximo. Los % vol. son idénticos a los grados Gay-Lussac (º G.L.), pero en otros paises se usan los grados ‘proof‘: **100 grados
proof**-EE.UU. equivalen a 50 grados G.L. y **100 grados proof**-Reino Unido a 57'1 grados G.L..

How Are Spirits Measured?
Spirits are measured by alcohol content. Different scales are used in different countries. Most countries use alcohol by volume (ABV), also known as the Gay-Lussac system, which expresses alcohol content as a percentage of the total liquid volume of the beverage. A 40% ABV spirit contains 40% alcohol. In the United States, the proof scale of measurement is used, with the proof of a spirit being double the ABV. Thus a 40% ABV spirit is 80 proof. A degree symbol is customarily used when expressing proof.
