Chicken Cock Whiskey - Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
Revived from its storied pre-Prohibition origins, Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey proudly carries on a legacy of bold American spirits. This classic Kentucky Straight Rye is crafted with a high-rye mash bill and aged in new, charred American oak barrels. The result is a spirited and complex whiskey that delivers the signature spice of rye, beautifully balanced by underlying sweetness, rich oak notes, and a smooth character that pays homage to its resilient history.
