Everclear 191

Case File: Jesus Christ on the cross. Just when you thought they couldn't go any higher, the good folks at Luxco managed to raise the bar their already formidable Everclear 151 had previously set. At an impossible 191 proof, the final iteration of an already ridiculous science experiment is as far as you can go. Research and development claims,

"[S]ince 95.6% ethanol and 4.4% water form an azeotrope (meaning that simple distillation cannot remove any of the remaining water), 191-proof spirits are the maximum proof that is available from the distilled beverage industry."

What would drive a culture to manufacture an alcoholic beverage so strong that its main functional uses include cleaning electronic parts, fueling gas stoves and disinfecting gunshot wounds? At what point is Everclear 151 not cutting it? Who is sitting down to dinner, killing a bottle of Everclear 151, and just kind of quietly frowning in sober disappointment? Also, the label says, "Distilled from 100% selected grains." What does that even mean? That's like marketing a calculator that only uses "100% genuine numbers."

Palette: Life, death, fear, love, God, the Devil. The inside of a second stage turbine.
