Fighting Cock vs Rittenhouse 100 Opinions?

There both Heaven Hill. What one is better?

Hard to compare as one is rye whiskey and the other is bourbon. Here a side by side comparison is about $35 so that's what I would do. Actually cheaper since I ALWAYS have fighting cock on the shelf. Both have a lot of flavor and that signature Heaven Hill mouth feel.

Is FC less burn then WT 101 with extra body? I love Heaven Hill mouth explosion too. There quite meaty too. Never had a Heaven Hill in Rye.

FC is best with ice, not much burn on ice. I do like it slightly better the WT101, and it's cheaper here by a couple of bucks. FC is clearly made to compete against Wild Turkey 101.

These both have rye like OGD, how much? I don't know. WT101 has more of a char and spice note, and is thinner than FC. Fighting Cock has creaminess vanilla and carmel to it. They are comparable and I often own a bottle of both. OGD, not so much, its been a while since I had that.

Is it a higher rye mash bill like Old Grand Dad or same as WT?
