- Description: This is a good but unremarkable bourbon. It is a pleasant, easy drinker that is best savored neat. Even a few drops of water softened it appreciably, making rocks pretty much out of the question. A cocktail? Not for me.

## **STEVE'S NOTES**

---

****NOSE**: Ripe Banana | Pound Cake | Corn Husks | Wet Concrete/Stone

****TASTE:** Light Caramel | Bright Rye | Some Water Releases Buttered Corn

****FINISH:** Medium-length and easy, with a little warmth

****SHARE WITH:** Anyone who likes bourbon.

****WORTH THE PRICE**: Not for me. It's a nice whiskey, but there are many other bourbons more flavorful and interesting at less than half the price.

****BOTTLE, BAR OR BUST:** Bar. I'm sure there are people who will enjoy this softie.

****OVERALL:** This is a good but unremarkable bourbon. It is a pleasant, easy drinker that is best savored neat. Even a few drops of water softened it appreciably, making rocks pretty much out of the question. A cocktail? Not for me.

## **BRAND NOTES**

---

Distilled, aged and bottled in Kentucky, Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has a rich, elegant mahogany hue.

****NOSE:** Balanced oak tones with sweet notes of dried fruit, caramel, and vanilla; and a palate that opens with soft tannins.

****TASTE:** A creamy, almost buttery mouthfeel is complemented by butterscotch notes and toasted oak, resolving with a vanilla finish.

****FINISH:** At 90 proof, there is a slight, welcome bourbon heat.

The bourbon is bottled in a replica of the Prohibition-era Chicken Cock bottle.
