Chicken Cock is about to do something it has never done before. It’s launching a wheated bourbon. It’s called Chicken Cock Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon, and this addition to the core portfolio features the first wheated mash bill in its 168-year history.
Chicken Cock Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon
For those new to whiskey, the heavy use of wheat as a secondary grain adds an additional softness and smoothness to the overall flavor experience. It all starts with a mash bill of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. Matured for at least 5 years in barrel char level 4 casks, it’s bottled at a robust 94-proof.
According to Chicken Cock, the result is a soft, memorable whiskey centered on flavors like cordial cherries, cream soda, caramel, baked dough, brown sugar, dried fruit, and gentle baking spices.
“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,” Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Director of Brand Engagement, Will Woodington, says.
“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.”
Where can I buy it?
Chicken Cock Wheated Bourbon is the newest addition to the brand’s iconic portfolio. Packaged in the brand’s timeless honeycomb glass bottle design featuring its well-known rooster emblem, it’s available at whiskey retailers nationwide for the suggested retail price of $54.99 for a 750ml bottle.
