MWL MEMBER EXCLUSIVE TASTINGS:

CHICKEN COCK WHISKEY TASTING

In 1856, James A. Miller built a distillery and started making Chicken Cock Whiskey in Paris, Kentucky. After his death, Miller left the business to a trusted distillery clerk, George G. White, who made Chicken Cock into the legend it became.  Chicken Cock survived hardships, fire and prohibition before fading into obscurity in the 1950s.  In 2011, Chicken Cock’s fortunes changed when spirits entrepreneur Matti Anttila discovered the brand in the Oscar Getz Museum while researching the early days of distillation in the U.S. With Chicken Cock simply being a faded memory of the past at that time, Anttila decided that the Famous Old Brand was worthy of a rebirth. Until the brand could produce its own distillate, Anttila sourced some of the best aged bourbon he could find that was worthy of the Chicken Cock label. Through vast historical research and the acquiring of the brand’s relics throughout its history, this was the beginning of the revival of the award-winning brand’s new lease on life.

Today, Chicken Cock holds the same standards that founder James A. Miller set back in 1856, producing delicious Kentucky Whiskey
