About this bottle
A rye whiskey from Owensboro, KY USA from Chicken Cock, Chicken Cock Island Rooster Rum Barrel Rye is part of the Spirit Hives whiskey selection. It is bottled at 47% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: An elegant array of spices, pepper, with a hint of rye grassiness and sweet molasses softly touched with oak overtones; on the palate: A tremendous complexity of spices, vanilla, butterscotch and pepper, beautifully complimented with just enough rum sweetness; finish: Very long and enjoyable, with the rye characteristics predominant but wonderfully enhanced with a touch of sweet, and an amazing buttery mouthfeel.

Serving & pairing
Rye’s peppery spice is the classic base for a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. Pairs well with charcuterie and dark chocolate.
Rye versus bourbon — what is the difference?
Both are American whiskeys aged in new charred oak. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, which gives sweetness; rye must be at least 51% rye grain, which gives pepper, spice and a drier finish. Canadian whisky is often called “rye” by tradition even when the mash bill contains little rye.
