Distillery Information

Chicken Cock was established in Paris, Kentucky, in 1856. Grain & Barrel Spirits founder Matti Anttila revived the brand in 2012, with master distiller Gregg Snyder helping guide its return.

The bourbon is made through Bardstown Bourbon Company's collaborative distilling programme. The Small Batch expression combines selected barrels and is presented in a heritage-inspired apothecary bottle.
