Craftsmanship
-
Uses a wheated mash bill (wheat instead of rye) for a softer, sweeter, and rounder whiskey profile compared to rye‑heavy bourbons
-
Distilled, aged, and bottled in Kentucky under the revived Chicken Cock name — a heritage brand first established in 1856, known in Prohibition‑era speakeasies and recently brought back by modern distillers
-
Matured in new charred American oak barrels as required for Kentucky Straight Bourbon, then rested until ready to bottle at 94 proof (47 % ABV)
-
Crafted to balance smoothness and flavor depth, offering a more accessible bourbon experience that emphasizes sweetness and approachability without losing whiskey character
Best Enjoyed
Serve neat or over a single large ice cube to appreciate its creamy texture and gentle sweetness. Its mellow, wheat‑forward profile also makes it a great base for softer cocktails — try a Whiskey Smash, Highball, or a mellow Old Fashioned for a smooth, easy‑drinking experience.
Chicken Cock Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey brings historic roots, soft wheat‑driven sweetness, and smooth southern bourbon character to Royal Batch — an elegant choice for those who prefer round, mellow bourbons.
