In the context of whiskey, "42 percent vv" refers to the alcohol by volume (ABV) percentage of the whiskey. ABV represents the amount of alcohol present in the total volume of the liquid. Therefore, a whiskey labeled as "42 percent vv" contains 42% alcohol by volume, meaning that 42% of the liquid is pure alcohol. This percentage is important for understanding the strength and potency of the whiskey.

It means it has 42% alcohol in a 100% solution.

vv% = volume/volume %

So a concentrate (v/v%) =volume solute/volume of solution * 100.

So 42/100 x 100 = 42 vv%
