About
One of the oldest bourbon brands in the U.S., Chicken Cock was established in 1856 in Paris, Bourbon County, Kentucky. Seven decades later it was a staple of Prohibition-era speakeasies, including the world famous Cotton Club. Known as, “The Famous Old Brand,” Chicken Cock died off after WWII, but has now returned to its rightful place in the pantheon of great American heritage whiskeys. Beautiful, balanced 95% Rye Whiskey. Non-chill filtered Bottled in a Prohibition-era replica apothecary-style bottle.
