trumpstylz Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Fighting Cock is 103 proof, and I believe 6 yrs old.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Making a proof point isn't a big deal. It's hard to imagine they're targeting the Fighting Cock drinker. Not enough for them to matter. What's the package look like? That's usually a good indication of who they're targeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Sounds like they are targeting the cost conscious bang for the buck consumer. I would also like to see a picture of the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virus_Of_Life Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Looks like a knob creek bottle in a way, very similar only a little bigger. It is a Liter after all. To me it tastes spicier than typical KC, but I haven't had KC in quite a while. Also haven't had OGD BiB so can't say, but wonder if this isn't that mashbill.

squire Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Looks like KC alright, right down to the cork. I once bought a 1.75 ltr of KC and that thing was a handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdery Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It looks like they handed the designer a bottle of Knob and a bottle of Woodford and said, "make something in between."You didn't tell me it's both premium and small batch! They'll sell a million of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpstylz Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah, the bottle design is very similar to KC- except the top is less square/more rounded at the top.This might take a spot next to VOB in my value spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flintlock Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Is it available in KY Costco's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigthom Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Is it available in KY Costco's?I don't live that close to Costco, and I'm not a member, but I'll check.(One doesn't have to be a member of Costco in Kentucky to shop at the liquor and wine store. I just don't make it over there often.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGentleman Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I saw it in Louisville this past weekend. Plenty was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigthom Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I saw it in Louisville this past weekend. Plenty was available.Excellent. And that's not far from the Springhurst Liquor Barn, if an out-of-town visitor wanted to expand their search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarnv Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Has Costco always sold liquor in Kentucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigthom Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I've only been here four years, but the Louisville Costco has sold liquor all that time.Like Sam's Club, the liquor and wine store has a separate entrance, and no membership is required. Costco only takes cash, Amex, or debit for payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I picked up a couple of bottles today. The UPC on them state 80686. Beam is 80686. If that means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I think it means there is something we're not getting about the Clear Springs DBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigthom Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think it means there is something we're not getting about the Clear Springs DBA.Maybe that the labels were approved before the DBA was transfered, and this use was allowed as a condition of the transfer?

ErichPryde Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 It's very, very good bourbon- ESPECIALLY for the price. it's hotter than knob creek, and sweeter. there's a big red cinnamon thing going on in there. but it's an incredible value whiskey. Let it settle in the glass for a bit or use it to make old fashioneds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazjaz Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Erik thanks for the tasting notes. I saw the big display a couple days ago, but was reluctant to jam a liter of questionable juice into an already crowded pantry. I,ll go back grab one.
