Most whiskeys (rye) are 86 proof. Percent is half that so they are 43% alcohol. When mixed with anything in a drink they become diluted -- less alcohol %

by using fractional distillation
Common grain-based alcohol products include vodka, whiskey, gin, and beer. These products are typically made from grains like barley, corn, wheat, or rye. The grain is fermented to produce alcohol that is then distilled to create the final product.
Let x be the ounces of 15% alcohol solution. The amount of alcohol in the 15% solution is 0.15x, and the amount of alcohol in the 23% solution is 0.23(100 - x). Setting up the equation 0.15x + 0.23(100 - x) = 0.15(100) solves for x, which is approximately 38.5 ounces of the 15% alcohol solution needed.
A 60% isopropyl alcohol solution contains 60% isopropyl alcohol and 40% water. It is commonly used as a disinfectant for wounds, surfaces, or equipment due to its antibacterial properties. It is important to follow proper guidelines for usage and application to ensure effectiveness.
It is difficult and expensive to refine anything to 100% purity. Best to use 70% as it is just as effective and cost a whole lot less.
