One of the oldest whiskey brands in the U.S., Chicken Cock was established in 1856 in Paris, Bourbon County, Kentucky. Seven decades later it was a staple of Prohibition-era speakeasies, including the world famous Cotton Club. Known as, “The Famous Old Brand,” Chicken Cock died off after WWII but has now returned to its rightful place in the pantheon of great American heritage whiskeys.
Tasting Notes
Color: Caramel, with a hue of dark orange
Nose: Dominant Spices, Pepper, with a hint of Cinnamon, Grassiness and sweet Oak Lactones
Taste: Tremendous complexity of spices, vanilla, butterscotch, pepper with a hint of dryness and slight overtones of citrus and oak. Very long, slow peppery finish with a hint of sweet honey and a wonderful buttery mouthfeel.
