Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon

A fantastic, beautifully packaged revival of "The Famous Old Brand"! Originally established in 1856, Chicken Cock rose to legendary status during Prohibition when it became the house whiskey at the famous Cotton Club in New York (where it was smuggled inside tin cans). Today, the brand has been resurrected with this meticulously crafted Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Featuring a rye-forward mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, it is aged for a minimum of four years and bottled in a stunning replica of its original apothecary-style bottle at 90 proof (45% ABV). It delivers a classic, creamy, and highly approachable flavor profile that is absolutely perfect for a premium Old Fashioned.

NOSE

Sweet and inviting with a beautiful balance of toasted oak, dried fruit, warm caramel, vanilla bean, and a hint of bright citrus zest.

PALATE

Exceptionally smooth with a creamy, almost buttery mouthfeel. Lush flavors of sweet butterscotch, honeyed corn, and vanilla wafer are perfectly balanced by a lively punch of peppery rye and roasted nuts.

FINISH

Medium-long, warm, and highly satisfying, leaving a lingering trail of salted caramel, gentle oak, and light baking spice.
