Chicken Cock Chanticleer Cognac Barrel Finish Bourbon 750 ml

Description:

Chicken Cock Whiskey – known as “The Famous Old Brand” – has released Chicken Cock Chanticleer, a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in fine French Cognac barrels.

Chicken Cock Whiskey rose to fame as the house whiskey at The Cotton Club, one of Prohibition’s most legendary speakeasies. The brand managed to survive Prohibition by swiftly moving production around and smuggling bottles into the United States in tin cans.

After Prohibition, Chicken Cock enjoyed a resurgence before a distillery fire just after World War II put it out of business. In 2012, Matti Anttila rediscovered the brand and set out to resurrect it to its Prohibition-era glory. Since then, the team has introduced a flagship KY Straight Bourbon and KY Straight Rye Whiskey, made in partnership with Bardstown Bourbon Company as part of its collaborative distilling program, along with several other highly sought after limited-releases.

Vibrant notes of ripened peaches, delicate sweet cream, and succulent honey on the nose. Tannic bursts of vanilla and cherry complimented by softened plums, candied dates, and banana flambe. Finishes with hot caramelized sugar, melted butter, and fresh citrus zest.
