History
Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Rye was founded by James A. Miller who built a distillery and started making Chicken Cock, a type of whiskey unique to the bluegrass region. It was an infamous staple of prohibition-era speakeasies, like the Cotton Club, and was smuggled inside in nondescript tin cans. Unfortunately, the original distillery where Chicken Cock was made, burned down in the 1950s. Known as The Famous Old Brand, Chicken Cock Whiskey has now been resurrected, because good spirits never go out of style. Staying true to the rich 160-year-old brand identity while modernizing it just a touch, the products we’ve created are an unsurpassable collection of heritage whiskies. In just a few years after he founded Chicken Cock, James A. Miller died, leaving behind a few thousand dollars to a trusted distillery clerk and a high-quality whiskey brand that was still in its infancy. The clerk, a man named George G. White, continued Chicken Cock Whiskey and made it the legend it became. was 100% distilled, aged, and bottled in the Bluegrass State, and has a mash bill that includes 95% rye whiskey.
