Chicken Cock Cotton Rye 20 Year Old is a limited-edition release that honors our history. Chicken Cock was forced to move production up to Canada during Prohibition. The Canadian Rye whiskey produced during that period was then smuggled back into the U.S. in tin cans, earning the brand the nickname, “The whiskey in a tin can.
This replica Pre-prohibition era collectible tin canister honors our history and a limited-time-only return to a period where Chicken Cock ventured north in order to carry on its tradition of bringing high-quality whiskey to patrons across the country. Commemorative tin is a replica of the actual tin smuggled from Canada into speakeasies including the Cotton Club in New York during Prohibition.
