Guy just come back off holiday and said they have this rum which is 151% proof! Apparently 100% proof isn't the highest. He said they weren't allowed to bring any back as it said in the flight plan that its highly explosive! He also said the local ran motorbikes on it

Most lethal I've had was some 70% home made cherry rum that my brother brought back from Romania that his work mates mum and dad had made.
Tasted like water. Didn't taste of cherries at all!

i didnt know it was illegal to bring back though, i have brought it home twice, last year and 3 years back.

I got a picture of it in Amstredam somehwere on my phone...
Proof is the American version. It's calculated differently to the way we calculate it in Europe. You can only have up to 100% by volume, which would be pure alcohol, but you can have up to 200% by proof which would be pure alcohol again...
