Think your palate justifies that $200 bourbon habit? Blind Proof is here to put it on trial — and deliver the verdict. Blind Proof is a blind whiskey tasting companion that strips away the labels, prices, and hype so you can discover what you actually like. Add 2–4 bottles, pour them into unmarked glasses, and rate each one on nose, palate, finish, and value using intuitive sliders. Guess the price of each pour. Then hit reveal — and face the evidence. Our Roast Engine analyzes your ratings against the actual prices and delivers brutally honest, hilariously specific verdicts. Did the $30 bottle beat the $150 one? Congrats — you just discovered marketing is a lie. Did the most expensive bottle win? How predictable. We've got a roast for every outcome. FEATURES: Blind Tasting Flow — Add your bottles with proof and price, then the app shuffles and assigns anonymous glass labels so you taste without bias. Rate on Four Dimensions — Score each pour on Nose, Palate, Finish, and Value with satisfying haptic-feedback sliders. Price Guessing — Think you know what a bottle costs by taste alone? Prove it. The Roast Engine — A humiliation calculator that turns your whiskey pretensions into entertainment. Get categorized as a Budget Champion, Tater Alert, Label Drinker, Price Blind, Honest Palate, or Cope Detected. Humiliation Score — A 0–100 score measuring how well your palate holds up under scrutiny. Savings Calculator — Find out how much money you'd save if you always bought your actual favorite instead of the priciest option. Shareable Results — Generate a caption with your headline verdict, winner, loser, and humiliation score to share with friends. Session History — All your past sessions are saved locally on your device so you can track whether your palate is improving or you're still a walking billboard for whiskey marketing. Beautiful Dark UI — A premium, dark-themed design with smooth animations and haptic feedback throughout. Blind Proof is completely free, works entirely offline, and stores everything locally on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no data collection. Just you, your whiskey, and the truth. Your palate is on trial. How does it plead?
