Product Description
Chicken Cok Whiskey was originally established in 1856 by James A. Miller in Paris, Kentucky, the seat of Bourbon County. Around the same time on the West Coast, California was booming with the gold rush, and the wine industry was sowing their first vines in America. Our Chicken Cock Whiskey Red Stave is a celebration of these two iconic American industries - Kentucky bourbon and California wine. Red Stave is Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in carefully selected J. Wilkes Petite Sirah barrels that will entice the senses for whiskey and wine lovers alike. J. Wilkes Petite Sirah is produced by the Miller Family Wine Company, which has over 150 years of winemaking experience. Located in the Paso Robles Highlands District of California, the J. Wilkes winemaker takes full advantage of the hot days and cool nights high above the Pacific Ocean to harvest grapes that are perfectly ripened and bursting with flavor. These flavor rich Petite Sirah wine barrels give Red Stave a balanced stone fruit taste profile and beautiful red tint. With over 300 years of combined whiskey and winemaking history between Chicken Cock Whiskey and J. Wilkes there is expertise and provenance in each sip. Spanning rolling bluegrass hills of Kentucky to the sunny, breezy highlands of California's Central Coast. Red Stave is a celebration of America's rich agricultural heritage.

What critics and judges wrote
Whisky Advocate · Julia Higgins · 2024
The nose is bright, evoking mixed-berry Greek yogurt, orange peel, ripe strawberries, vanilla bean, and frosted berry pound cake. … water brings a sweeter spearmint to the fore, but can’t erase the pleasant tannic chewiness of the whiskey.
