Chicken Cock Releases First Wheated Bourbon

Although the revived Chicken Cock brand was revived in 2012 and has operated as a non-distiller producer (NDP) through that period, it has never had a wheated bourbon on the shelves. Until now. The new bourbon is made from a mash bill of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley, aged at least 5 years and bottled at 94 proof.

“Our wheated bourbon brings something entirely new to the table for the Chicken Cock brand, while staying true to the quality our customers and fans have come to expect, who are familiar with our traditional high-rye recipe products,” says Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Director of Brand Engagement, Will Woodington. “Our wheated bourbon leans more into rich, stone fruit flavors, bringing well-rounded oak to the table on the finish, while our high-rye recipe brings more citrus, butterscotch, and a gentle spice side of the flavor spectrum. Equally delicious, beautifully different.”

Chicken Cock Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon is in national distribution with an MSRP of $54.99.
