One of the oldest bourbon brands in the U.S., Chicken Cock was established in 1856 in Paris, Bourbon County, Kentucky. Seven decades later it was a staple of Prohibition-era speakeasies, including the world famous Cotton Club. Known as, “The Famous Old Brand,” Chicken Cock died off after WWII, but has now returned to its rightful place in the pantheon of great American heritage whiskeys.
Age and wood. You can't have great whiskey without great wood. That is why we aged our 8-year-old whiskey in American oak barrels twice. This process allows us to extract all of the great flavor within the oak to create a robust and interesting sipper. Double the wood, double the flavor.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: Chestnut brown
- Nose: Dark chocolate covered berries, toasted coconut shavings, and caramel coffee
- Palate: Sapid flavors of vanilla bean, wae cone, steeped berries, and warm baking spices
