We always get really excited when we see a brewery and a distillery combining to launch a whiskey. Especially when it’s the re-release of a beloved whiskey collaboration. This is the case with Chicken Cock Whiskey’s partnership with Goodwood Brewing for Ryeteous Blonde.

Initially released in 2020, Chicken Cock Ryeteous Blonde begins as the brand’s Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. It’s then finished in Goodwood Brewing Blonde Ale barrels. According to the brand, the result is a mellow, complex, 100-proof rye whiskey loaded with flavors like orchard fruits, cracked black pepper, honeycomb, lemongrass, pear, toasted oak, and sweet malts.

“Summer only comes once a year, and this collaboration with Goodwood Brewing is a perfect example of what happens when two bold worlds—whiskey and beer—come together. With the Ryeteous Summer campaign, we’re celebrating that daring spirit and encouraging whiskey enthusiasts and adventurers alike to embrace the memorable moments.”

The well-known Washington State-based distillery Woodinville Whiskey Co. just released its oldest rye whiskey to date. Matured just a shade under a decade, the whiskey was launched this past weekend at the distillery.

As the name suggests, this is a rye whiskey boasting a mash bill of 100% rye. Grown, distilled, and matured in Washington State, this complex rye whiskey was matured for a minimum of eight whole years. The Rye was grown at the nearby Omlin family farm in Quincy, Washington. After harvesting, it’s shipped across the mountains to Woodinville, where it’s milled, mashed, and distilled.

Think beer can’t age like wine? Think again

We reached out to Moody Tongue for some answers. The Michelin-starred Chicago restaurant specializes in beer and food and has plenty of experience on the subject. Jared Rouben is head brewmaster there, and we called on him to debunk the myth that beer can't age.
