Chicken Cock Private Cask Double Oak Kentucky Whiskey Barrel Proof

Discover the bold legacy of Kentucky bourbon with this limited edition Chicken Cock Private Cask Double Oak release — a barrel-proof expression that reflects the rich heritage and craftsmanship of one of America’s oldest whiskey brands, established in 1856.

Hand-selected and bottled at cask strength (120.6 proof / 60.3% ABV), this small-batch Double Oak Kentucky whiskey is aged for over 5 years and 2 months, then finished in a second barrel made of Kelvin Cooperage Char #3 American white oak, delivering deep complexity and a powerful, full-bodied profile.

This expression showcases a mashbill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, capturing the perfect balance of sweet vanilla, baking spice, charred oak, and caramelized sugar. The double-oaking process intensifies the barrel influence, producing rich aromas, layered flavors, and a long, warm finish that appeals to seasoned bourbon drinkers and collectors alike.

With its high proof, extended aging, and bold personality, Chicken Cock Private Cask Double Oak is a celebration of American whiskey tradition — bottled straight from the barrel in Bardstown, Kentucky, the heart of bourbon country.
