The Chicken Cock Whiskey of today holds the same standards of quality and craftsmanship that was set forth originally by James A. Miller in 1856. From the curated selection of each white oak log that we harvest from the rolling hills and valleys of West Virginia that our barrels are made from, to our rigorous specifications on air drying, toasting, and charring levels, to the strategic placement of those barrels within the rickhouses, each bottle of Chicken Cock Whiskey holds inside of it both our long legacy and the fruits of our labor; delicious Kentucky whiskey. Taste: Soft oak tannin upfront, which dissipates into delightful toasted oak lactones. At 90 proof there's a slight bourbon heat that let's you know this is a real deal, full-bodied bourbon. On the tongue, it evolves into a creamy almost buttery mouthfeel with sweet butterscotch notes. Appearance: Elegant mahogany hue color. Aroma: Nice balance of oak tones with sweet notes of dried fruit, caramel and vanilla.
