Fighting Cock 6 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Run into this bourbon randomly while inspecting the spirits in the nearest store and it cost a sharp price. Well, I have expected nothing but a standard whiskey you usually get for such a price, but I haven't been disappointed by a purchase since the only thing I was driven by was a curiosity. And it performed high above my expectations despite having a quite tawdry and flashy cartoonish label. Aroma resembles the one of Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon with tons of caramel, nuts, sweet spices, figs and butterscotch. While the aroma delivers some decent yet standard notes the taste gives you a fabulous experience. Fighting Cock is one of the sweetest bourbons I've tried so far. The taste is utterly sweet with many different fruity notes - there are peaches, apricots, even mangos. Some caramel, honey, nuts along with wooden and rye notes as well. This sweetness does not disappear at once but lingers for quite a long time and expresses the bourbon's rich and appetizing charachter. After adding some water it gives a true bubble gum taste. Gorgeous. Finish is long and spicy sweet again. I liked it much and definitely would purchase it as soon as I find it for the same price.
