Chicken Cock Whiskey Revives Ryeteous Blonde
Chicken Cock Whiskey, a historic player in the American whiskey scene, has officially announced the return of its highly anticipated limited-time release, Ryeteous Blonde. This exquisite whiskey is the result of a unique partnership with Goodwood Brewing and will be reintroduced starting May 1, inviting whiskey enthusiasts to experience its vibrant flavor profile once again.
First launched in 2020, Ryeteous Blonde quickly became a favorite among fans and now makes a comeback amid its high demand. This intriguing blend of Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, aged to perfection in Goodwood Brewing's Blonde Ale barrels, delivers a smooth and harmonious sip. National Whiskey Ambassador Will Woodinton describes it as a "vibrant pour that balances the bold spice of rye with the malty sweetness infused by the beer barrels." The tasting notes reveal hints of honey, biscuit malt, crisp apple, and delicate pepper mingled with honeycomb and toasted oak, creating a complex sip that speaks of spring and adventure.
To mark this special occasion, Chicken Cock Whiskey is launching the Ryeteous Summer campaign. This initiative is designed to highlight the whiskey as the quintessential companion for summer escapades. Whether it’s embarking on outdoor adventures or enjoying lazy afternoons, Ryeteous Blonde sets the stage for unforgettable moments. The campaign will feature live tastings at the brand’s home in Bardstown, KY, called Circa 1856, as well as social media collaborations and in-store events.
"We’re thrilled to welcome back Ryeteous Blonde and kick off the season with something extraordinary," said Matti Anttila, the founder of Grain & Barrel Spirits. This summer celebration emphasizes the daring spirit of merging whiskey and beer, showcasing the unique attributes of Ryeteous Blonde. It’s a chance for whiskey lovers to share their summer experiences, brought together under the hashtag #RyeteousSummer.
Ryeteous Blonde exemplifies the meticulous craft that goes into creating an unforgettable whiskey. As a limited-edition offering available at a suggested retail price of $69.99 (100 Proof, ABV 50%), it joins a growing lineup of fine spirits from Chicken Cock Whiskey. Not only can fans find it on the brand's website and in selected liquor stores, but it will also be available at the Circa 1856 for tastings and direct purchases.
Shipping restrictions apply, preventing availability in states like Michigan, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Utah.
Founded in 1856, Chicken Cock Whiskey boasts a rich history, originating in Paris, Kentucky. Its lineage traces back to J.A. Miller's Old Bourbon, making it one of the earliest whiskey brands to gain national recognition. After its revival in 2012 by CEO Matti Anttila, the brand has surged in popularity, celebrated for its award-winning Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Rye, as well as its limited-edition releases crafted in collaboration with the Bardstown Bourbon Company.
Goodwood Brewing, located in Louisville, Kentucky, adds another layer of craftsmanship to this collaboration. Known for aging their beers in bourbon barrels, they deliver bold brews with distinct flavors, refreshing the whiskey landscape as they continue to expand with full-service restaurants across Kentucky and Missouri.
Overall, the return of Ryeteous Blonde is more than just a product announcement; it’s a celebration of community, adventure, and the spirited union of two rich traditions in American culture. So save the date, and get ready to raise a glass to the spirit of summer with Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Ryeteous Blonde.
