Chicken Cock Small Batch (No. 5), 50%

Price: 70 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Cherry cordials, freshly baked cinnamon-raisin bread, and French toast unfold from the glass, creating a warm and inviting first impression. The palate brings brighter candied cherry flavors, vanilla bean, and hazelnut coffee Apple strudel, chocolate eclair, and cinnamon rolls add depth without abandoning the sweet heart of this bourbon. The finish has good length and shows a pleasant touch of heat alongside dark chocolate, caramel, and spiced vanilla.
