vatsterkte


Explanation:
whisky proeven op vatsterkte

Of onvertaald laten: cask strength
https://www.whiskywise.nl/blog/cask-strength

Na rijping op het vat wordt de whisky overgebracht in flessen. Meestal wordt de whisky eerst versneden tot een alcoholpercentage van 40 of 43%. Wordt de whisky niet versneden, dan spreekt m’n van een Cask Strength whisky (whisky op vatsterkte).

Explanation:
Being a bit of a whisky nut myself I agree that vatsterkte is the correct term, although I think the use of the English term is a bit more common.

Example sentence(s):
  • Deze Ex-Bourbon heeft gerijpt op een handgeselecteerd barrel van Amerikaans eiken. De vatsterkte bedraagt 57.8%.
  • CASK STRENGTH
