Beautiful Bourbon | Bourbcast 206 | Fighting Cock

beautifulbourbo...
As we continue our series on pours that could be horrible, we're reviewing Fighting Cock, a Heaven Hill bourbon that sells for $20 or less and is a purposeful rival to Wild Turkey 101.
This is a "rebroadcast" of our Facebook Live "Bourbcast". Better than a podcast, the bourbcast is a live video broadcast, interactive, and can be seen LIVE each Thursday at 7:00pm EST, at beautifulbourbon

I hadn't realized I'd been subscribed to your channel for so long, but it must be a year at least, because I saw the birthday Bourbcast last time. As Kermit the Frog says, time's fun when you're having flies. 🙂
2:38 I came to Albuquerque in 97.
4:17 It's amazing that an $18 bottle of ungood whisky is better than the expensive, fancy juice. 😂
I'm sitting here sipping on my very first glass of Russell's Reserve. It's not Wild Turkey 101, but I like it. I'd expected it to pretty closely resemble the Turkey, but they're definitely different.

I was pleasantly surprised by it. Pretty decent, really. As far as the Russell’s, yes it’s very different than WT101, but that’s what it’s all about. It’s the exact same bourbon mashbill as every other Wild Turkey Distillery product. What’s different is the barrel, the rickhouse placement, the age, the proof, etc. If you haven’t had the 10 year, it’s very good.

The FCock does have an age statement, it’s next to the SKU code, aged 36 months to perfection

[@beautifulbourbon]

Thank you for finding that! Mine does indeed say, "Aged Thirty Six Months". A little different than yours, but you're right. It's there!

Do the 101 proof "brandy" you have

I got busy and forgot to do it!! I’ll do it next Thursday. Gosh - I can’t believe I forgot.
