As a bourbon enthusiast, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by Heaven Hill’s Fighting Cock Bourbon\u2019s unique name and the reputation of the distillery behind it. Heaven Hill has a history of offering high-proof bourbons with competitive pricing, a trend that Fighting Cock follows with a 103 proof and a price tag typically around $20. Made from a classic Heaven Hill mashbill consisting of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% barley, this bourbon promises an interesting flavor profile.<\/p>\n

When I poured my first glass, I noticed the attractive caramel color, which made me eager to explore the aroma and taste. The bouquet of Fighting Cock Bourbon offers a mix of floral, grassy, and nutty notes, followed by sweet hints of honey and caramel that signify its Heaven Hill origin. The sweetness coming in second was unusual, but not unwelcome.<\/p>\n

As I delved into the taste, it became clear that Fighting Cock is indeed a spicy bourbon. This heat is balanced by flavors of caramel, wood, dark fruit, and vanilla, with a nutty undercurrent throughout. It’s enjoyable on its own, and its 103 proof and robust flavors make it a great addition to cocktails as well.<\/p>\n
