Chicken Cock Garden & Gun Single Barrel Selection 9 Year Old Barrel Proof Straight Kentucky Whiskey (750ml)

Garden & Gun is the only magazine dedicated to living a life more engaged with the land, literature, music, arts, traditions and cuisine of the South. 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 - hence this collaborative edition of Chicken Cock. 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,” explains Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Brand Ambassador Will Woodington. However, due to the American white oak barrel shortage in 2014, the spirit was aged in bourbon barrels for seven years. “Then we finished it in new American white oak barrels to elevate the whiskey to our standards.” 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 were bottled.
“Garden & Gun is thrilled to partner with Chicken Cock Whiskey to present this limited-edition Double Oak single barrel collaboration,” shares Christian Bryant, vice president and publisher of Garden & Gun. “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.” - notes partly sourced from breakingbourbon.com
