In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott tackle a hot topic in the bourbon world: does great bourbon have to be high proof? While barrel-strength and cask-strength whiskeys continue to dominate the conversation, the guys make the case for exploring the sub-100 proof range (80–99 proof) as well.

They share standout examples of bourbons and whiskeys in this proof category, explain why there’s a time and place for every proof point, and discuss how “palate fatigue” from ultra-high-proof releases has shaped their appreciation for more balanced pours.

Whether you’re new to bourbon or a seasoned enthusiast, this episode offers a fresh perspective on enjoying whiskey at all proof levels.

Jake and Scott also want to hear from listeners: What are your favorite sub-100 proof bourbons or whiskeys? Share your picks and join the conversation!
