Chicken Cock Whiskey is getting “back into bed” with Goodwood Brewing to reintroduce their collab, Ryeteous Blonde.
The 100 proof expression is an offering of the brand’s Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey finished in Goodwood Brewing Blonde Ale barrels. The result is a pour that expertly balances the bold spice of rye with the bright, malty sweetness imparted by the beer barrels.
“Goodwood’s Blonde Ale brings forward flavors of honey and biscuit malt which meld seamlessly with our Kentucky Straight Rye,” said Chicken Cock National Whiskey Ambassador Will Woodinton. “Notes of crisp apple, sweet malt, delicate pepper and honey overflow the palate, leading to a beautiful finish reminiscent of “springtime” in a glass with honeycomb, lemongrass, pear, toasted oak, and gentle sweet malt.”
To celebrate the return of Ryeteous Blonde, Chicken Cock is launching Ryeteous Summer, a campaign that highlights the whiskey as the libation for those who embrace adventure. Through live tastings at the Chicken Cock Whiskey brand home in Bardstown, KY, Circa 1856, social collaborations, and retail activations, the campaign will drive awareness.
“We’re excited to bring back Ryeteous Blonde and kick off the upcoming season with something truly special,” said Matti Anttila, founder of Grain & Barrel Spirits. “Summer only comes once a year and this collaboration with Goodwood Brewing is a perfect example of what happens when two bold worlds—whiskey and beer—come together. With the Ryeteous Summer campaign, we’re celebrating that daring spirit and encouraging whiskey enthusiasts and adventurers alike to embrace the memorable moments.”
After the success of its original release in 2020, Chicken Cock is being reintroduced on May 1.
Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Ryeteous Blonde is available for $69.99.
