Chicken Cock Island Rooster Rum Barrel Rye

Island Rooster has a 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash bill, which is bottled at 95 proof (47.5% ABV) in an apothecary-style embossed bottle featuring a premium metal cup cap – perfect for pouring while outside this summer.

Island Rooster was inspired by a trip to the Caribbean, where roosters announce the coming day. With this new release, Chicken Cock is announcing its “Summer of the Rooster” program where the brand will showcase its bold, confident, and expressive take on the iconic Chicken Cock rooster.

Chicken Cock Island Rooster Rum Barrel Rye Tasting Notes

Nose: An elegant array of spices, pepper, with a hint of rye grassiness and sweet molasses softly touched with oak overtones.

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.
