Difficult to work out since you added 1kg sugar after taking you OG reading.

OG 1.08 to FG 0.997 gives abv of 11.1% using this calculator: http://www.rooftopbrew.net/abv_calculator.php (I put temp as 20 celcius since you didn't say what it was when you readings were taken).

So you're looking at higher than this in any case.
