Chicken Cock Mizunara Japanese Oak Finish Bourbon 750mL

The 4th Edition of Chicken Cock Mizunara Japanese Oak Finish Bourbon is a limited release of only 10 barrels, showcasing a rare and exceptional whiskey that embodies both tradition and innovation. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is finished in first-use Mizunara oak barrels, a rare and prized wood from Japan, known for its challenging coopering process and its ability to impart unique flavors to the whiskey. Mizunara oak is famed for taking centuries to mature, and its incorporation into this edition adds a new layer of complexity and richness to Chicken Cock's already outstanding bourbon.

The whiskey draws inspiration from the majestic Onagadori rooster, known for its rarity and distinctive long tail, much like the rare Mizunara oak that brings a one-of-a-kind character to this bourbon. Each bottle is a testament to the art of whiskey-making, a nod to James A. Miller's pride in both his whiskey and the roosters that adorn the bottle.
