The Chicken Cock brand was first established in 1856 in Paris, Kentucky. It was the house whiskey at The Cotton Club, a famous speakeasy in New York City during Prohibition. It was smuggled in tin cans and opened tableside. A distillery fire just after WWII closed the distillery, but in 2012, the brand was resurrected by Grain & Barrel Spirits.

Tasting Notes

"This is a distinctly flavorful rye, combining the expected spice and vanilla notes with a distinct herbaceousness. Look for mint and sage on the palate, along with a pleasant hit of nutmeg on the finish. Those notes could make it an intriguing choice for cocktails."
