Chicken Cock Limited Edition Island Rooster Rum Barrel Rye Whiskey 750ml

The new expression starts with Chicken Cock’s Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey and is finished in Caribbean rum casks for at least six months. Island Rooster was inspired by a trip to the Caribbean, where the distillers found roosters announcing every new morning.
Island Rooster’s mash bill is 95% rye and 5% malted barley, and the liquid is bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV) in an apothecary-style embossed bottle with a metal cup cap.
Chicken Cock Island Rooster Rum Barrel Rye was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the whiskey’s production was limited to just 25 barrels.
