Chicken Cock Double Oak review

Tasting Notes

About:

Mash bill: N/A. aged seven years in used barrels, then transferred into new white American oak barrels. 46% ABV.
Appearance:
Light golden.
Nose:
Sweet Vanilla mixed with a soft caramel
Palate:
Very smooth and pleasantly sweet without going overboard. You can really taste the char from the barrels which rounds out the vanilla and caramel flavors you get on the nose to create a really satisfying mix of sweet and savory.
Finish:
Comments:
Satisfyingly sweet and savory, the Double Oak Kentucky Whiskey from Chicken Cock delivers a delicious combination that deserves its relatively high price point. Definitely seek out this bottle if you are looking for an old school Kentucky style whiskey.
