    You Can’t Handle The Proof – Flavor Odyssey

    Since the very beginning of Flavor Odyssey, hosts Robby Ras and Randy Griggs have maintained that higher-proof spirits make better cocktails. This week, they’re putting that theory to the test. On the show, we’ll be mixing both low-proof and high-proof versions of the same cocktails and comparing them side by side to see if the long-standing belief holds true. Grab your favorite cigar, pour yourself a cocktail, and join the conversation as we find out whether more proof really means more flavor. Pairings Randy: Whiskey Sour & Davidoff Aniversario No. 3 👎🏻Robby: Revolver & Tatuaje PCA 2025 Corojo 👍🏻 🙋‍♂️ Audience Pairings Nathan Stewart: Padrón 1964 Natural & three Old Fashioned cocktails each made with a Jack Daniel's blend [Old No.7 (80p), Bonded (100p), & Single Barrel Barrel Proof (130p)].
