🥃 Everclear 120 Proof
The weakest Everclear line: 120 proof, 60% ABV; most Luxco listings are marked CA only.
Everclear 120 Proof is the weakest line of the Everclear neutral grain spirit: 120 proof, or 60% ABV. Tasting Table counts it as one of the brand's three versions, alongside the 190 and 151. It is a base for dilution and infusions, not a finished drink; even this strength is one and a half times that of vodka.
In the Luxco listing, most positions of this line are marked “CA only”, meaning for California alone; one position is marked for export. As in the other lines, the base is corn distilled repeatedly to a neutral spirit, according to Tasting Table. The producer gives no wider details on composition or bottling here, so we do not assume any.
Why this matters to you. The 120 is weaker than Everclear 151 Proof and Everclear 190 Proof, but sales rules depend on the state: Tasting Table writes about age and quantity limits. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe level of alcohol.
