The Chicken Cock Aged 11 Years Small Batch Double Oak Kentucky Whiskey is an expertly crafted bourbon that showcases the transformative power of extended aging and innovative double oak finishing. Bottled at 92.6 proof, this premium Kentucky whiskey delivers remarkable depth and complexity through its unique dual barrel maturation process. From the storied legacy of Grain & Barrel Spirits in Bardstown, Kentucky, this exceptional bourbon represents the revival of the historic Chicken Cock brand. The double oak technique involves transferring the whiskey to a second set of charred American white oak barrels after initial aging, creating layers of flavor that traditional single-barrel aging cannot achieve. Carefully selected from Rickhouse D and aged for over a decade, this small batch release exemplifies the artistry of Kentucky bourbon making.
