On Wednesday, Chicken Cock Whiskey announced an exclusive release as part of a partnership with Garden and Gun Magazine in celebration of the South and its “time-honored traditions.” The release is Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Garden and Gun Single Barrel Double Oak and hosts a suggested retail price of $149.99
The whiskey is available for purchase on Chicken Cock’s website and can be bought in retail stores while supplies last.
“Garden and Gun is thrilled to partner with Chicken Cock Whiskey to present this limited-edition Double Oak single barrel collaboration,” Vice President and Publisher of Garden and Gun Christian Bryant said in a news release. “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.”
Chicken Cock claims its master distiller, Greg Snyder, is an “avid hunter” when he’s not busy making whiskey. When asked about the release with Garden and Gun, Snyder claims it is “just phenomenal… full-flavored, full-bodied and smooth.”
“It has the mashbill recipe for bourbon,” Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Brand Ambassador Will Woodington claimed.
Yet for this specific expression, the brand had to adapt. Because of the American White Oak shortage of 2014, Chicken Cock Whiskey chose to age the spirit in bourbon barrels for seven years.
Though this prevents the spirit from being classified as bourbon, it was finished in new American white oak barrels to “elevate the whiskey” according to Woodington.
Just twelve barrels of this Double Oak Kentucky Whiskey are available for purchase.
In November, Chicken Cock announced a partnership with a Texas-based clothing company, Criquet Shirts. The brands released a bundle that included one of the company’s shirts and a bottle of 120.6-proof bourbon.
