Distilled, Aged, and Bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky

There’s a lot going on inside that barrel.

Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has a rich, elegant mahogany color and a nose that’s a nice balance of oak and sweet notes with dried fruit, caramel, and vanilla.

15 Year Old Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Whiskey

Our Master Distiller, Gregg Snyder, went out in search of a small selection of our very best and oldest barrels, handpicking 10 special barrels for this 15-year-old limited release. Bottled at barrel proof, this powerhouse bourbon was well worth the wait.

15 Year Old Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Whiskey

For our second beer barrel finish release, we collaborated again with our friends at Goodwood Brewing in Louisville. Bourbon was the star of the first release, this time around Rye takes center stage. Goodwood used original Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon barrels to finish their delicious Blonde Ale. When they were done, we took those barrels back and filled them with our Kentucky Straight Rye. The result is a delicious marriage of sweet bourbon flavor and rye spiciness, with notes of hops.

Revival Cycles Handbuilt Show

In partnership with Revival Cycles our master distiller handpicked a unique seven and one half year-old bourbon barrel designated for this special release at Revival's Handbuilt Show in Austin, TX.
