BattleScotch! Jim Beam 6y Black v Fighting Cock 6y with Dan

BattleScotch! The Exactly-6-Year-Old-Kentucky-Straight-Bourbons-Within-Five-Dollars-Of-Each-Other Edition!

From competing distillers, Jim Beam 6y Black is a member of, duh, Team Jim Beam, while Fighting Cock 6y whips it out at Heaven Hill Distillers. We’ve covered their backstory before, this competition was truly inevitable! They are as matched as they can be, with a slight geographic disadvantage for Fighting Cock as we can only get it in Quebec.

Having a go-to, budget conscious bourbon is key to keeping a well-stocked bar, or so I’m sure I’ve read in either some men’s lifestyle magazine or marketing copy from a bourbon distiller. But really, we here at iScotch just want to point you in a better direction for your bourbon-buying buck. Here’s what we thought:
