This Private Cask bottling from Chicken Cock features a selection of 15 barrels of Kentucky straight bourbon, individually chosen by Master Distiller Gregg Snyder. Each barrel has been aged for 7 years, with proof and flavor profiles naturally varying. Available from September 2022 at select retailers across eight states (CT, GA, IL, IN, KY, MI, SC, and WI), attendees of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown (September 16-18, 2022) had the opportunity to purchase a bottle from the initial barrel.

The nose was very sweet with strong vanilla and caramel. The taste revealed citrus notes with oak, followed by waves of sweetness with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish is medium to long and bright, with citrus emerging at the end. It’s a very smooth drink for being 123.9 proof.
The aroma is of very dry rye with abundant oak. The flavor is a huge, rich, and sweet impact, with notes of cognac present for me. It's rich, gently spicy, with a lovely finish, sharing the same oak and tannin bitterness as the 15-year expression, but it's superior. This is the finest whiskey I've tried from this distillery.
Nose: a fruity aroma Palate: cinnamon and chicory, followed by dark fruits, sweet corn, and red hots, with slight tannins in the finish. An herbal note is present in the background.
Nose: A powerful blend of vanilla and caramel, with dried fruit and nutmeg. Taste: A wave of lingering spice, buttery notes, oak, sweetness, toastiness, and vanilla. Full-bodied flavors.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
