Chicken Cock Whiskey has collaborated with the New Orleans Bourbon Festival to release a limited-edition single barrel double oak Kentucky whiskey. The Double Oak Whiskey will be exclusively available at the New Orleans Bourbon Festival and select local retailers.

Aged for nine years, the 119.6 whiskey is presented in a collaboratively designed prohibition-era inspired bottle, a nod to the brand’s long and storied history since its founding in 1856. It has been aged for seven years in used barrels, then moved to American white oak with a level four char for two more years.



Will Woodington, Chicken Cock Whiskey brand ambassador, said: “Not only is New Orleans one of the cornerstones for America’s rich cocktail and whiskey history, but we can also trace our brand’s history to New Orleans as far back as the late 1830s, a time when James A. Miller was shipping barrels of his coveted whiskey down to the ‘Big Easy’ long before he opened the Chicken Cock Distillery in 1856.

“To commemorate the relationship between our brand and the city of New Orleans that stems back nearly 200 years, we wanted to not only have a great presence at this fantastic event but also release a rare and unique offering to its attendees. Gregg Snyder, Chicken Cock Whiskey’s master distiller, and I, along with the event organizers, hand-picked this barrel of our Double Oak 9-year-old Kentucky whiskey in-person in Bardstown, and it’s one of the finest expressions of Chicken Cock Whiskey that I’ve ever tasted!”

Chicken Cock Double Oak Whiskey will be available at the New Orleans Bourbon Festival, March 20-24, 2024.
