A dangerously drinkable nod to the forefathers.

The Chicken Cock brand goes all the way back to 1856 in Paris, Kentucky. It was a fairly successful Bourbon in its day, but things REALLY took off during Prohibition when the owners moved production to Canada and took the innovative step of packaging their hooch in tin cans to hide it from Johnny Law. In the 1950’s the Chicken Cock Distillery burned down, but liquor wonder-kind and serial entrepreneur Matti Anttila of Grain & Spirits bought the brand in 2012 and released their revitalized line of Whiskey in 2017. And things have gone very very well. So well, that in 2018 they entered into a collaborative distilling agreement with Bardstown Bourbon Co. — a powerhouse — to help them keep up with burgeoning demand.

This bottling is their way of nodding to the pioneering Spirit of our forefathers. Chicken Cock Chanticleer was first aged in American white oak before it was finished in the finest French Cognac barrels the good folk at the Chicken Cock could find. Their Master Distiller Gregg Snyder hand-picked 32 barrels that made the final cut – the ones with the tastiest tannic bursts of vanilla and cherry, all supported by soft plums, candied dates, and banana flambe. We were taken aback by how the flavors melt on your tongue like warm butter. Dangerously drinkable – whether you sip it neat, on the rocks, or mix it up in a Bourbon cocktail.
