Twice as much alcohol for the same price? Sounds like a pretty good deal. Just put in more tonic.

IIRC, in "The 1820 Treatise on the Adulteration of Food and Drink", typical alcohol %'s in gin were in the low to mid 50s.

That was an English publication, not Canadian...

I’m thinking this sort of thing doesn’t happen very often.
