Oh, you're going to get Bombed, Eh. The bottles are labelled as 40% alcohol, but actually have 77%.

The over proof gin “inadvertently” entered the bottling line at a third-party bottling plant in the United Kingdom when “they were switching from one bottling tank to another bottling tank,” Bacardi spokeswoman Amy Federman said in an email. The problem gin was used in the bottling line for no more than 45 minutes, “a short period of time,” she said. Bacardi expects only “a few” of the 1,000 recalled cases actually contain bottles with 77 per cent alcohol. The batch was shipped to Canada sometime late last year, she said.
“Remember, the product isn’t unsafe,” Federman said, “it just was recalled because the label says 40 per cent and it didn’t in fact contain 40 per cent…. There’s much higher proof alcohol out there that people drink and buy everyday — but it’s labelled properly.”

The flagged bottles of gin are recognizable by the lot code on the bottle. The code reads: L16304W. “Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased,” the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said.

Some of the cases were distributed to Alberta, so be careful if you bought some recently.
