Chicken Cock Island Rooster Rye 750mL

Inspired by a trip to the Caribbean, where roosters announce the coming day, Chicken Cock decided to finish 25 barrels of their Signature Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey in Caribbean rum casks. The result is a relaxing blend of spicy notes from the rye with candied molasses notes from the rum barrels. Sun and sand meets the Bluegrass state.
