James A. Miller, the founder of Chicken Cock Whiskey, took so much pride in his beloved chickens and his exceptional whiskey it led him to name his whiskey “Chicken Cock.” To this day we continue to take pride in the beautiful roosters that adorn our exceptional whiskey. As such, the fourth edition of Chicken Cock’s limited annual tin release is guided by a like-minded pride in roosters and good whiskey. The Onagadori rooster and Mizunara Oak from Japan inspired this year’s release.
The Onagadori rooster is not only stunning but also incredibly rare, with its distinctive long tail. Similarly, Mizunara oak is renowned for its rarity and difficulty coopering, taking up to two centuries to mature before it can be used to make whiskey barrels. It’s likely the Mizunara oak trees used in this batch were already growing when Miller began making whiskey in the 1800s.
Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Mizunara is our award-winning Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, enhanced by the unique character of first use Mizunara Japanese Oak finishing.
