Fighting Cock Bourbon Whiskey

Hot Cock Toddy. Cock-a-Rita. Cock & Cola. They might sound like titles of movies you wouldn't want to watch with your parents, but in fact they're cocktail recipes for Fighting Cock bourbon. We are absolutely engorged with jokes we'd like to make right now, but we'll work hard on keeping them to ourselves.

Beyond the absolutely amazing name, from what we can tell the whiskey is good stuff too. It's a six-year-old Kentucky bourbon that clocks in at a hefty 103 proof, with rye substituted for the wheat normally in bourbon, to add that extra kick. We're looking forward to giving it a try. We'll let you know as soon as we tangle with the Cock, and then we'll probably end up going to confession.

Also, on top of the drink recipes we listed above, the site includes some excellent looking food recipes for cooking with bourbon. We're huge fans of cooking with booze, and there are a few recipes we'd really like to try. In a perfect world, every meal would automatically feature bourbon barbecue sauce and finish up with Kentucky bourbon pie, but we don't live in a perfect world, so you'll have to get yourself a bottle of Fighting Cock and put on your apron.

To learn more, go to the Fighting Cock site.
