Chicken Cock Whiskey recently celebrated its 170th Anniversary with the release of two limited edition bourbons, a 170th Anniversary Limited Edition Rooster Decanter and 170th Anniversary Edition Legacy Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
The 170th Anniversary Limited Edition Rooster Decanter celebrates the iconic rooster that has stood at the heart of Chicken Cock since its earliest days. This limited-edition ceramic decanter is filled with 8-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey at 115 proof. For 170 years, the rooster has been Chicken Cock Whiskey’s unmistakable mark, a symbol rooted in founder James A. Miller’s life as a Bourbon County farmer and carried through generations of advertising, labels, and lore.
From the rooster icons of the 1850s to the painted label art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the bird became more than branding. Now, for the first time in Chicken Cock history, the rooster takes form as a collectible ceramic decanter.
The 170th Anniversary Edition Legacy Kentucky Straight Bourbon marks the return of a name absent from the bottle for more than 100 years. James A. Miller, the Bourbon County farmer and distiller who founded Chicken Cock Whiskey in Paris, Kentucky in 1856. This bottle celebrates a legacy started by this innovative farmer from Bourbon County that endures nearly two centuries later.
One of America’s oldest whiskey brands, Miller’s distilling roots reach back at least 187 years. After his passing in 1860, G.G. White kept his name alive across Chicken Cock bottles and advertising. That name disappeared during the Prohibition era, until now. This release raises a glass to the founder, the original old brand, and 170 years of whiskey history still worth crowing about.
Chicken Cock The 170th Anniversary Edition Legacy Kentucky Straight Bourbon and The 170th Anniversary Limited Edition Rooster Decanter are available for $99.99 and $199.99, respectively.
