This is certainly a FIGHTER! At $12.49/750ml it was worth a try and expanding one's bourbon horizons. It tastes worlds better with a rock than a splash. You get all the heat you want at 103 with no loss of roughness either. It is a working man's "shot and a beer" chaser after working a tough shift at the mill. Very fun to try, but not for the faint hearted. I will have it next time with an Iron City Beer. :-)
