In this episode of High Proof Ashes, we light up the Rocky Patel Number 6—a flavorful blend that features a Honduran-grown Corojo wrapper, a Honduran binder, and fillers from Honduras and Nicaragua. Known for its natural sweetness and smooth, creamy profile, this cigar delivers a refined and complex smoking experience.On the bourbon side, we crack open a bottle that caught us off guard: Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Straight Wheated Bourbon. With a mashbill of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley, this bottle clocks in at 107 proof and carries serious Weller Antique vibes—maybe even better.And it’s criteria bottle time again. This round, we’re pouring New Riff Straight Bourbon, a high-rye, bottled-in-bond favorite crafted in Kentucky. It’s bold, spicy, and unfiltered—just the way we like it.Tune in for our takes on the pairings, tasting notes, and whether this Bardstown bottle could really unseat a wheated classic.
