About this bottle

Chanticleer is the second Holiday Edition release for Chicken Cock and it comes packaged in a collectible tin. The Kentucky straight bourbon begins with a mash bill recipe of 70% corn, 21% rye and 9% malted barley. After its initial maturation in new, charred American oak barrels, the bourbon was finished in French cognac barrels. Master Distiller Gregg Snyder hand selected the bourbon and cognac barrels used for this release. Bottled at 112 proof, this is available as of October 2022. (SRP $499.99)

Hot to start, but really opens up. I love the spice on this. The cognac is very present. Long finish. Will happily take a few visits with this.

The 4.05 score up top pulls the average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
