Inspired by the two award-winning limited releases — the 160th Anniversary 8-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon and 10-Year-Old Double Barrel Bourbon — Chicken Cock Whiskey recently released 1,800 bottles of Beer Barrel Select, a blend of 1.5-11.5 year old Kentucky Bourbons finished in Walnut Brown Ale barrels, as per the brand.“This most recent limited release from Chicken Cock Whiskey — one of the oldest American Whiskey brands, est. 1856 in Paris, Kentucky — is the result of creative partnership, a hallmark approach of the brand and its parent company, Grain & Barrel Spirits. In the summer of 2018, six barrels that had held Chicken Cock's 10-Year-Old Double Barrel Bourbon were given to Goodwood Brewing in Louisville to finish their Walnut Brown Ale,” says Chicken Cock Whiskey.Once finished, Goodwood Brewing handed over those six barrels back to Chicken Cock. Chicken Cock Master Distiller Gregg Snyder, working alongside O.Z. Tyler's Master Distiller Jacob Call, then filled them with a blend of 100% Kentucky Bourbon aged 1.5-11.5 years. The Bourbon was finished in the six barrels for six months before final blending and bottling, yielding a mere 1,800 bottles of this all-Kentucky collaborative release, according to the whiskey brand.Beer Barrel Select is believed to be full-bodied, producing initial notes of butterscotch, caramel, and vanilla, which are followed by a hint of toasted oak, and then a sweet finish with nut and chocolate flavors. Never chill-filtered, Beer Barrel Select retains the flavors and slight haze of the Walnut Brown Ale. Chicken Cock's unique, Prohibition-era bottle and «sipping glass» lid complete the heritage bourbon experience.Founded in 1856 in Paris, Kentucky (10 years before Jack Daniels), Chicken Cock rose to fame as the house whiskey at the Cotton Club, one of the most legendary speakeasies during Prohibition. Known as «The Famous Old Brand» and «The Whiskey in a Tin Can,» Chicken Cock was smuggled into the Club in sealed tin cans, then ceremoniously opened tableside, as per the brand.Established in 2012 by entrepreneur Matti Anttila, West Palm Beach, Florida-based Grain & Barrel Spirits is an emerging craft spirits company at home in the Southeast with production and sales partners around the world. Wholly-owned brands include Dixie Southern Vodka, the largest premium craft vodka produced in the Southeast; pre-Prohibition favorite Chicken Cock Whiskey; and The Endless Summer Spirits Company.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the Beer Barrel Select. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
