History,
Many a whiskey brand claims old roots. Chicken Cock goes right for it: “The Famous Old Brand.” You can read at length about it, from its establishment in 1856, to its spread west, to its recreation as a medicinal product near the end of Prohibition (it was aged in wood, after all!), to its slow demise thereafter. Perhaps its most interesting boast: it was house whiskey for The Cotton Club.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Pleasantly fragrant, Chicken Cock Rye is brown sugar and nutmeg, warm sarsaparilla with sour grain.
Palate: The palate is heavily spicy: allspice and cedar upfront, a little fire on the mid palate softening to ripe peach. Sandalwood and black tea hit the back palate for a medium finish.
