Grain & Barrel Spirits has released the first rye in more than 70 years from Chicken Cock; the Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. This new release harks back to pre-prohibition times for the brand and follows the launch, last fall, of the brand’s anchor expression, the Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.



The new expression has been made in partnership with Bardstown Bourbon Company’s collaborative distilling program.

“The number one question I’m asked since resurrecting Chicken Cock Whiskey is, where can I find it?” said Matti Anttila, founder of Grain & Barrel Spirits. “In the beginning, we were limited geographically by liquid so we were forced to allocate to a small group of select markets. Now, several years into the comeback, we’re able to broaden our distribution with our two top quality, everyday expressions – first, our Kentucky Straight Bourbon and now our Kentucky Straight Rye. Both of these will be the cornerstones of the brand as it rolls out nationally throughout 2020.”
