✨We Blind Tasted Sazerac Rye Full Proof / Does It Compete?

Sazerac Rye just went full proof and that begs a question: does it actually compete with today’s best ryes, or is it just a stronger version of a familiar name?

In this episode, we blind taste Sazerac Rye Full Proof against proven rye heavy hitters. No labels. No price bias. Just aroma, palate, finish, and balance put head-to-head to see if this new release can hang when the proof goes up and the gloves come off.

This isn’t about hype or brand loyalty. It’s about whether Sazerac’s full proof rye earns a seat at the table with ryes we already trust.

If you’re curious about high-proof rye, blind tastings, and honest whiskey reviews, this one’s for you.

💬 Before you watch. Do you think Sazerac Rye Full Proof actually competes with the heavy hitters?
