Could i keep my bundy rum in the freezer without it freezing because of the alcohol or is there not enough and it'll freeze anyways and give me a messy freezer full of glass

It won't freeze... the high alcohol content prevents this, just like vodka, jagermeister, etc.

Welcome to the forum, I guess!

Just don't be tempted to drink it out of the bottle.

People that chill their spirits :blink: I always say to PEOPLE, do you buy it chilled? did you get that out the coolroom? And were are they keepted at the purchase place?

your rum your dissision, but me on top of cabinet, out of reach, room temp, nice.....


Let me ask you this, why do you chill it?

Because bundy would probably taste better freezing cold.

Some spirits are intended to be drunk this way. Jagermeister is a very good example.

If you order it in Europe, it will be served very chilled. One german bar I used to frequent in London had a special Jagermeister temprite to chill it down.

I've never done this so don't know, but I thought the water content would still freeze, and the alcohol wouldn't.
Isn't that how the Germans increase the alcohol content in Eisbier? Freezing some of the water and removing it?
My old-man used to tell me stories years ago of freezing spirits into ice-cubes and then drilling thru the ice into the still-liquid alcohol pocket in the centre to syringe it out. (Why I'm not sure!)

The freezing / melting point of alcohol is about -115C.

The higher the water content the easier it is for ice crystals to form. Removing the ice will leave behind a higher concentration of alcohol.

Something like rum or vodka contains less water, so it is harder for ice crystals to form in the first place. If you could get your freezer cold enough though you could still freeze it.

More likely though, you'd freeze a layer of ice around the inside of the bottle first and end up with a highly alcoholic core. This may even occur in a domestic freezer, but you would probably need to leave it completely undisturbed for ages before the first ice crystals would develop.

I'm guessing Simon's old man wasn't using 'spirits' as we know them - it was probably well diluted, which is why it could be frozen into cubes. Unless he was an early cryogenics expert or something

the reason i want my rum icy cold is that i'm gunna drink out of shot glasses made of ice and i don't want them to melt too quickly.
