Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon (45%)

Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon is distilled, aged and bottled in Kentucky at 45% ABV (90 proof). It comes in a replica of the original Prohibition-era Chicken Cock bottle. The brand is one of the early American bourbon names, with roots in the 19th century, and is now produced by Grain & Barrel. The whiskey has a mahogany colour, with balanced oak, sweet dried fruit, caramel and vanilla, and a creamy, almost buttery texture. The nose is spicy and citrusy, with toasted oak, honey and clementine. On the palate come soft tannin, butterscotch and a vanilla wafer note, and the finish is long, warm and clean, with grassy rye.
