Heaven Hill Fighting Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon 103 Proof
103 proof 4 years or older Bourbon Heaven Hill Bardstown, KY $19.95
Nose

Sweet vanilla with light floral and fruity corn character; minimal heat despite 103 proof; pleasant and approachable with some caramel notes.

Palate

Sweetness concentrated on the mid-tongue with minimal front-end intensity; white pepper spice on the finish; lacks complexity and depth.

Finish

White pepper and spice that dissipates quickly without lingering; brief and clean but unremarkable.

Lackluster
An approachable but unremarkable entry-level bourbon that prioritizes sweetness over complexity, scoring better on nose than execution overall.
