Chicken Cock Chanticleer Cognac Barrel Kentucky Bourbon 750ml

Discover the bold revival of a Prohibition legend with Chicken Cock Chanticleer Cognac Barrel, a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that channels the spirit of an era defined by secrecy and swagger. This expression from the iconic Chicken Cock Whiskey lineup elevates the brand's heritage through its finish in fine French Cognac barrels, delivering a profile that's both audacious and refined.

Picture the haze of The Cotton Club, where Chicken Cock held court as the house pour amid the roar of speakeasies. During those outlaw years, the brand dodged ruin by shifting operations under the radar and slipping bottles stateside in unassuming tin cans. Prosperity followed repeal, only for a devastating distillery blaze right after World War II to silence it—for a time. Fast forward to 2012, when Matti Anttila unearthed this gem and rallied a team to breathe new life into its storied name. Collaborating with Bardstown Bourbon Company, they've crafted a flagship Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Rye, plus a roster of coveted limited editions that keep collectors on edge.

Chanticleer stands tall among them, inviting you into a sensory journey that starts with the nose: ripe peaches bursting forth, laced with soft sweet cream and flowing honey. On the palate, tannic sparks of vanilla and cherry dance alongside plush plums, sticky candied dates, and a flambéed banana allure. The finish lingers with scorched caramel sugar, pools of melted butter, and a zesty citrus snap that pulls you back for another sip.

From Kentucky's heartland, this 750 ml bottle at 56% ABV packs the punch of American whisky tradition with a French twist. It's more than a pour—it's a ticket to the clandestine thrill of history reborn, perfect for those evenings when you crave depth and drama in every glass. Elevate your collection or uncork it for moments that demand something extraordinary.
