Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5266458, member: 1414"] It really depends on how you like it. In a Sazerac I might agree there is minimal benefit to higher proof. More rye spice? Yes, that could help. Sazerac rye is very mild. Piggyback Rye would be a good example for lower proof but 100% rye. It was basically meant to be a higher tier mixer. Woodinville I don't know well enough. It's also 110 and 100% rye. I'm not a huge fan of Elija Craig's rye, but that's just me. The Russell's Reserve is good, but is a 51% rye. Redemption is not one I'm fond of. In something like an Old Fashioned (more my choice of cocktail) I find that a higher proof, stronger profile rye really shines. [/QUOTE]
