Chicken Cock Ryeteous Blonde Straight Rye Beer Barrel Finish 750 ml

Chicken Cock Ryeteous Blonde Straight Rye Beer Barrel Finish is crafted in Kentucky, starting as a traditional straight rye whiskey aged in new American oak before being finished in blonde ale barrels from Golden Road Brewing. Bottled at 50% ABV and non-chill filtered, this limited release draws subtle character from the beer casks, layering light malt sweetness, floral hops, and soft citrus over the classic rye foundation. The result is a bold yet refreshing whiskey that bridges craft distilling with modern barrel experimentation.

On the nose, it opens with lemon peel, honeyed grain, vanilla, and gentle herbal notes. The palate delivers lively rye spice balanced by biscuit malt, light citrus, and white pepper, finishing crisp with lingering oak and soft sweetness. Best enjoyed neat or over a large cube, it also shines in a rye highball or a lighter Manhattan, where its beer-barrel influence adds a bright, contemporary twist.
