This is a normal post 140-180%?
How does that work? I always thought that that measure was out of 100 - you know, it being a percentage and all.

This is a normal post Because they use 200 year old methods to make the rum
as quoted in the link: "This varies though from year to year depending on how much rain has fallen on the sugar cane from which the rum is made, some years it can get up to 86% volume / 180% proof if it’s been dry."

This is a normal post According to my science
86% ABV = 86 * 1.75 = 151 proof.

This is a normal post It's like Navy Strength gin
It's called Navy Strength, because it has to be high enough proof so that it won't comprimise the gunpowder if it gets knocked over on a ship. Nom Nom Nom
