Chicken Cock Island Rooster Rum Barrel Rye

Chicken Cock Island Rooster is a limited edition Kentucky Straight Rye finished in rum barrels. Inspired by a trip to the Caribbean, where roosters announce the coming day, we decided to finish 25 barrels of our Signature Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey in Caribbean rum casks. The result is a relaxing blend of spicy notes from the rye with candied molasses notes from the rum barrels.

Bottled in a Prohibition-era replica apothecary-style bottle. 

APPEARANCE

A rich and beautiful dark Amber color.

AROMA

An elegant array of spices and pepper, with a hint of rye grassiness and sweet molasses softly touched by oak overtones.

FLAVOR

A tremendous complexity of spices, vanilla, butterscotch and pepper, beautifully complimented with just enough rum sweetness to complete the full flavor profile.

FINISH

Long and enjoyable with forward rye characteristics that are wonderfully enhanced with a touch of sweetness and an amazing buttery mouthfeel.
