Chicken Cock Partners with Garden & Gun for Double Oak
Chicken Cock Whiskey unveiled an exclusive Single Barrel Double Oak Kentucky Whiskey in partnership with Garden & Gun. Inspired by the South and its time-honored traditions, Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Garden & Gun’s Single Barrel Double Oak is imbued with history and is now available on Chicken Cock’s website. It will soon also be available in stores.
Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Master Distiller Gregg Snyder is an avid hunter when he’s not hand selecting white oak for aging spirits, or sampling batches to find the perfect blend of flavors.
Snyder describes Garden & Gun’s Single Barrel Double Oak Whiskey as “just phenomenal… full-flavored, full-bodied and smooth,” with a fragrance of caramel coffee and a crème brûlée finish – an ideal bottle to open after an adventurous day of hunting.
“It has the mash bill recipe for bourbon,” Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Brand Ambassador Will Woodington said.
However, due to the American white oak barrel shortage in 2014, the spirit was aged in bourbon barrels for seven years. For this reason, the spirit cannot be qualified as a bourbon, but rather a Double Oak Kentucky Whiskey, though all other aspects of it align with those of a classic bourbon. Only 12 barrels of this exclusive spirit will be bottled and available for purchase. SRP will be $149.99.
“Garden & Gun is thrilled to partner with Chicken Cock Whiskey to present this limited-edition Double Oak single barrel collaboration,” Christian Bryant, vice president and publisher of Garden & Gun, said. “We know our readers will relish the warm and inviting hints of vanilla, steeped berries, and cinnamon. This bottle will add character to any home bar.”
In 2012, Matti Anttila, Grain & Barrel Spirits CEO, rediscovered the heritage Chicken Cock brand and set out to resurrect it to its Prohibition-era glory. Since then, the team has introduced a flagship KY Straight Bourbon and KY Straight Rye Whiskey, made in partnership with Bardstown Bourbon Company, as part of its collaborative distilling program, along with several other highly sought after limited releases.
