Whiskey from the days when you could name your whiskey Chicken Cock.
A legacy that dates back to 1856 in Paris, Kentucky – a town tucked away in the heart of Bourbon County.
We've made a few mistakes in the past 160 years, but naming our whiskey Chicken Cock isn't one of them.
Our Whiskey
Known as "The Famous Old Brand," Chicken Cock is one of the oldest American whiskey brands. Established in 1856 in Paris, Kentucky our whiskey has reclaimed its rightful place among the best heritage American whiskey. Today, Chicken Cock is proudly crowing again!

Good spirits never go out of style.
During the 1920's, whiskey was a staple of prohibition-era speakeasies like the Cotton Club in Harlem, NY; a time when Chicken Cock was smuggled across the Canadian border in tin cans, earning it the nickname of "the whiskey in a tin can". Unfortunately, in conjunction with quality standards going down, many old bourbon brands like Chicken Cock lost their former luster to consumers by the 1950's, causing the brand to fade out of existence until its revival in 2012.

While a neat pour suits our whiskey best, Chicken Cock makes these classics even bolder.
