Review: I picked up this bottle of fighting cock for a Heaven Hill budget comparison video and was pleasantly surprised at how approachable it was while having much richer and earthy notes. It makes for a great old fashioned and mixer in general but is easy enough to drink neat despite its budget price and higher proof point. Cheers!
My Rating: Stock it!
Ratings Scale:

-Shoot: Good enough to get you drunk
-Sip: Tasty enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.
-Stock: I’d recommend keeping a bottle on hand.
