Chicken Cock 20 Year Old Cotton Club Rye Whiskey

Appearance: Rich mahogany hue, gleaming with a lustrous brilliance reminiscent of polished hardwood floors in an opulent speakeasy. Nose: A symphony of aromas dances from the glass, revealing layers of complexity. Initial notes of warm baking spices, including cinnamon and nutmeg, mingle with hints of toasted oak and caramelized sugar. Subtle undertones of dried fruits, such as figs and raisins, add depth and intrigue. Palate: The palate is an exquisite balance of bold rye character and refined elegance. Robust flavors of cracked black pepper and cloves interplay with decadent layers of dark chocolate and toffee, creating a velvety smooth texture that coats the tongue. A touch of leather and tobacco leaf adds a sophisticated edge, while a whisper of orange zest brightens the ensemble. Finish: The finish is long and lingering, leaving a warm and satisfying glow that invites contemplation. Echoes of spiced fruitcake and vanilla bean fade gracefully into the distance, leaving a lasting impression of timeless sophistication.

Rye whiskey must contain a minimum of 51% rye if it is made in the United States, although it can be as much as 100% rye. The whiskey must also be aged in new charred oak barrels for a minimum of two years and cannot be distilled to more than 80% ABV or 160 proof.It is combined with an "alcohol flavoring formulation" from Clarendon Flavor Engineers referred to as “blenders”, which are added to make it taste as close as possible to original recipe from prohibition era and bottled at the distillery in Templeton, Iowa.

In the United States, rye whiskey is, by law, made from a mash of at least 51 percent rye. (The other ingredients in the mash are usually corn and malted barley.) It is distilled to no more than 160 U.S. proof (80% abv) and aged in charred, new oak barrels.
Rye brings spicy notes to the palate that are not always as present in other types of whiskey like bourbon. Think baking spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and pepper, which make this whiskey a classic choice to use in cocktails that have a bit of sweetness to counterbalance the character of the rye.
