Its trash, there is a reason you pay round $20 a bottle, just spend a few more bucks and get Jameson. Red Breast is a very decent step up from both.

It's pretty wild for a spokesman/owner to get bought out (and probably still be the spokesman) after just a few years. Just a sign of how easy it is to make more money when you're big time. Some smaller companies making better whiskey punching air right now.

Is Song even in this fight? Maybe im reading into Phillips too much but it looks like he is winning everything.

@Erison

Its very similar to Dana being bought out of the UFC, but still being the president.

Yeah, Song is still live but he's not really winning any of these exchanges. Gotta change something.

Song needs to just go for it at this point. Change something. Probably should have went for a takedown last round

Felt like a fight Song could've won if he had any strategy.

I don’t like how Phillips is fighting. Its flashy when someone is marching you down but if not it leads to some boring fights. If song fights that way we have 2 people with their backs to the fence evading
