Chicken Cock Whiskey has reunited with Goodwood Brewing to reintroduce Ryeteous Blonde—a highly requested collaboration returning for a limited time only. After the success of its original release in 2020, Chicken Cock Whiskey will reintroduce this distinctive expression on May 1.

Ryeteous Blonde is a version of New Riff’s Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey finished in Goodwood Brewing Blonde Ale barrels. 

To celebrate the return of Ryeteous Blonde, Chicken Cock Whiskey is launching Ryeteous Summer, a campaign that highlights the whiskey as the perfect libation for those who embrace adventure. Whether chasing thrills or seeking new horizons, Ryeteous Blonde is being marketed as the ideal companion for those who live for adventurous summer moments. 

Through live tastings at the Chicken Cock Whiskey brand home in Bardstown, KY, Circa 1856, social collaborations, and retail activations, the campaign will drive awareness, inviting whiskey lovers to make Ryeteous Blonde part of their unforgettable summer traditions, and share their adventures using #RyeteousSummer.

“We’re excited to bring back Ryeteous Blonde and kick off the upcoming season with something truly special,” Matti Anttila, founder of Grain & Barrel Spirits, said in a news release. “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.”

Ryeteous Blonde will be available at an SRP of $69.99 (100 Proof, ABV 50%) through their website, select retailers and Circa 1856. Shipping is not available to MI, SD, TN, or UT. 

Back from the depths….Ryeteous Blonde, our beer barrel finished rye, has returned.
