Chicken Cock 20 Year Old Cotton Club Canadian Rye Whiskey

$209.94

Nose

Sweet candy combined with slight glassy rye, somewhat earthy notes, hints of citrus orange peel, spice and white pepper

Palate

A tremendous complexity of spices, vanilla, butterscotch and pepper, beautifully complimented with just enough rum sweetness to complete the full flavor profile

Finish

Very long and enjoyable, with the rye characteristics predominant, but wonderfully enhanced with a touch of sweet, rich molasses and buttery mouthfeel

Description

Originally established in Paris, Kentucky in 1856, Chicken Cock was forced to move production up to Canada during Prohibition. The Canadian Rye whiskey produced during that period was then smuggled back into the U.S. in tin cans, earning the brand the nickname, “The whiskey in a tin can.”

Born in the heart of Bourbon county – before bourbon whiskey was “Bourbon”

In 2017, the first proper Kentucky bourbon to be released under the Chicken Cock label in over 60 years was our 160th Anniversary release; an 8-year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. A nod to the brand’s historic past, it came bottled in a timeless Prohibition-era medicinal apothecary replica bottle; the same one we use for a variety of our expressions today. This release took home a gold medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition, platinum medal at the consumer-judged 2017 SIP Awards, and scored 94 points at the 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge and cemented Chicken Cock Whiskey in its rightful place as the renowned whiskey brand it had once been.
