This Private Cask bottling from Chicken Cock is part of a 15 barrel selection of Kentucky straight bourbons which were handpicked by Master Distiller Gregg Snyder. Each barrel has been aged for 7 years and will vary in proof and flavor as is the nature of such releases. In addition to being released in September 2022 to select retailers in 8 states (CT, GA IL, IN, KY, MI, SC, and WI), attendees of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown (Sept 16-18, 2022) will be able to purchase a bottle from the first barrel.

The nose was very sweet with bold vanilla and caramel. Taste brought out the citrus notes with oak and then waves of sweetness with maybe cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish is medium to long and bright with citrus coming out at the tail of the finish. It’s a very smooth pour for being 123.9 proof.
Super dry rye aroma with lots of oak on the nose. Giant hit of flavor, rich and sweet, there are hints of cognac flavor in there for me. Rich, subtly spicy, beautiful tail, same oak and tannin bitterness as the 15 year. But better. Best whiskey of theirs Ive tried.
WI Collaboration barrel A3, 120.6 proof Nose: fruity nose Palette: cinnamon and chicory, dark fruits come in, sweet corn and red hots, slight tannins in the finish. Herbal flavor is hiding in the back.
Nose: vanilla and caramel bomb, dried fruit amd nutmeg Taste: wave of spice lingering, buttery, oak, sweet, toasty and vanilla. Full flavors.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
