Listen "Jack Daniel’s vs Smooth Ambler – Cask Strength Rye Battle at Ocoee with the Plasencia 149 - High Proof Ashes Podcast Ep 97"
Episode Synopsis
We’re on location at Ocoee Cigar Lounge for another flavorful episode of High Proof Ashes, and this time we’re going single barrel barrel-proof head-to-head with two standout rye whiskeys: • Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Cask Strength Rye – Bold, powerful, and uniquely Tennessee. This barrel-proof rye delivers notes of toasted oak, dark fruit, and classic JD vanilla with a spicy rye edge. • Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel Rye – Sourced from MGP with their signature 95/5 mash bill, this cask strength expression brings high spice, bright citrus, and a punchy finish that rye lovers crave.To pair with this rye rumble, we’re smoking the Plasencia Cosecha 149—a Honduran puro made from the 149th harvest (cosecha), offering earthy depth, refined sweetness, and elegant complexity from one of the most respected names in cigars.Which rye comes out on top? And how does the Cosecha hold up alongside them? Tune in to find out.
