This depends on the number of distillations involved. In Europe, at least, the legal limit for the production of spirits is 94.8% ABV (= approx 190° proof). Many producers come close to this. Penderyn Welsh Whisky, for example, is distilled to 92% ABV, but then watered down considerably for bottling. Knockeen Hills sells an Irish Poteen at 90% (180° proof) which is the highest commercially available that I know of.Of course, there may be illegal distillers producing and selling higher percentage alcohol than this!
The highest proof is 190 or 95%. Both diesel and everclear are 190 proof.

∙ 15y ago"Proof" is twice the percentage, so 200 proof is pure alcohol.
But in practice a bit over 90% is all you can get without undue expense,
so the highest you can buy is about 180 proof.

What has more alcohol 150 proof or 80 proof?
the higher the proof the stronger - more alcohol - there is. In the UK 70 dgree proof was the standard strength of whiskey - 40% alcohol. 100 proof is 57.1% alcohol. 175 proof is 100% alcohol. In the USA it is different. 100 proof would be 50% alcohol, 70 proof would be 35% alcohol. 200proof would be 100% alcohol. ie double
How do you compute for proof?
proof is double the alcohol percentage. 40% alcohol= 80 proof
What is the meaning importance and use of proof in alcohol beverages?

What has more alcohol -- 150 proof or 80 proof?
'Proof' is a unit of measurement equal to 1 half of 1 percent. Therefore, 150 proof is 75% Alcohol by Volume (although at this point, you're more likely drinking moonshine or grain alcohol and not whiskey)

What percent of liquor is alcohol?
The answer varies in each different liquor, and should be listed on the bottle as "proof". The "Proof" is twice the alcohol percentage, so 40 proof is 20% alcohol, 180 proof is 90% alcohol.
If a bottle of wine is 10.5 alcohol what proof is that?
100% pure alcohol is 200 proof. A liquid containing 10.5% alcohol would thus be 21 proof
