The Society bottles all its whiskies direct from the cask, at full strength (around 60% alcohol). Whiskies bought in shops are diluted and bottled at about 40% alcohol. Because dilution sometimes produces a slight cloudiness, the whisky is then chilled and filtered—a process which, while it leaves the spirit clear, can remove some of the constituents which give it taste and character.
