Ví dụ

The machines are 110 proof and tough, but maintaining them when they are very old is difficult.

The 117 Series is an “angels’ share” bourbon (kẻ phản động, rượu uytky ngô), meaning that it was created using particularly low yield barrels. They’re bottled at 110 proof. Zykan explains that “lower yield barrels do tend to have a higher proof on them, and we’ve proofed it down to a level were it wasn’t insanely volatile (dễ bay hơi), where there’s still balance.”

"The Opal is 110 proof," says Graves, "and the Emerald is 140. Because once you add that much more herb, that much more oil, you need to have a higher proof of alcohol to contain it all in solution. Then, before you drink it, you add water and it turns cloudy – because you're bringing down the proof and the alcohol can't contain the oil anymore and it emulsifies (chuyển thành sữa). That's what the louche is. So if we tried to bottle the Emerald the way we bottle the Opal, it might separate like salad dressing."
