Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is distilled, aged, and bottled in Kentucky and presented in a prohibition-era replica of the original Chicken Cock bottle — with a rich, elegant mahogany hue, balanced oak with sweet dried fruit, caramel, and vanilla, and a creamy, almost buttery mouthfeel at 90 proof.

Chicken Cock is one of the original American bourbon brands, with roots reaching back to the 19th century. The current Chicken Cock is produced by Grain & Barrel, a Florida- and South Carolina-based craft spirits company with a portfolio that also includes Dixie Southern Vodka and Cabana Cachaca. The slight bourbon heat at 90 proof lets you know this is a real-deal, full-bodied bourbon.
