History,
Chicken Cock Whiskey Red Stave is a celebration of two iconic American industries – Kentucky bourbon and California wine. Red Stave is Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in carefully selected J. Wilkes Petite Sirah barrels that will entice the senses for whiskey and wine lovers alike. With over 300 years of combined whiskey and winemaking history between Chicken Cock Whiskey and J. Wilkes there is expertise and provenance in each sip.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: stone fruit, baked bread, maturing wine stock, light bodied grass. Vanilla and oak are very mildly noticeable as well.
Palate: Warm and spicy are the initial outtakes here, quickly delving into the essence of the grape, floral considerations, cranberry, pumpernickel bread and cherries. Again the typical vanilla and oak flavors associated with bourbon are muted, maybe too much so. A little more balance would be appreciated. The finish pops and then fades somewhat quickly, leaving just a slight off spice in its wake.
