Grain & Barrel Spirits’ has released Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey in select markets, “The Famous Old Brand’s” first Rye in more than 70 years. The introduction follows the fall 2019 launch of the brand’s anchor expression, a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The reintroduction of a straight rye whiskey signals a return to pre-prohibition times when the classic spirit was more prevalent, while also honoring the brand’s history and heritage.

Made in partnership with the Bardstown Bourbon Company as part of its collaborative distilling program, the new Straight Rye Whiskey was 100% distilled, aged, and bottled in the Bluegrass State. 

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: It has a rich caramel color with a hue of dark orange.

Nose: A tremendous complexity of spices including pepper and cinnamon, with a hint of dryness, grassiness, and slight overtones of citrus and sweet oak lactones.

Palate: A creamy, almost buttery mouthfeel is complemented by vanilla and butterscotch. It offers a tremendous complexity of spices, pepper with a hint of dryness and slight overtones of citrus and oak.

Very long, slow peppery finish with a hint of sweet honey and a wonderful buttery mouthfeel.

At 90 proof (45% ABV), there is a slight, welcome heat. Like the new KY Straight Bourbon, the KY Straight Rye is bottled in a Prohibition-era Chicken Cock replica apothecary-style bottle.
