What is the alcoholic content of scotch?

Scotch whisky doesn't have a single, fixed alcoholic content. It can vary depending on:

* The specific brand and blend: Some brands are known for being higher proof than others.

* The age: Generally, older whiskies are bottled at a higher proof than younger ones.

* Whether it is bottled at cask strength: This means the whisky is bottled without any dilution, resulting in a higher alcohol content.

Generally, you can expect scotch to have an alcohol content between 40% and 60% ABV (alcohol by volume).

Here are some common ranges:

* Standard bottled Scotch: 40% - 46% ABV

* Premium Scotch: 43% - 50% ABV

* Cask Strength Scotch: 50% - 60% ABV (or even higher)

Keep in mind that these are just general ranges, and some scotch whiskies fall outside of these parameters. Always check the bottle label for the specific alcoholic content of the scotch you are drinking.
