James A. Miller, the founder of Chicken Cock Whiskey, took so much pride in his beloved chickens and his exceptional whiskey it led him to name his whiskey "Chicken Cock.” To this day we continue to take pride in the beautiful roosters that adorn our exceptional whiskey. As such, the fourth edition of Chicken Cock’s limited annual tin release is guided by a like-minded pride in roosters and good whiskey. The Onagadori rooster and Mizunara Oak from Japan inspired this year’s release.
The Onagadori rooster is not only stunning but also incredibly rare, with its distinctive long tail. Similarly, Mizunara oak is renowned for its rarity and difficulty coopering, taking up to two centuries to mature before it can be used to make whiskey barrels. It’s likely the Mizunara oak trees used in this batch were already growing when Miller began making whiskey in the 1800s.

Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Mizunara is our award-winning Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, enhanced by the unique character of first use Mizunara Japanese Oak finishing. Limited to only 10 barrels of total production.

Born out of exceptional craftsmanship, Hennessy's X.O multi-faceted blend is celebrated through an artistic collaboration with the French contemporary artist, Jean-Michel Othoniel.

THE "GLASS VIRTUOSO"
Artist Jean-Michel Othoniel has captivated audiences with his unique aesthetic universe since the late 1980s. His dreamlike works give pride of place to materials with poetic, sensitive properties that amplify light and sublimate sensory structures until they seem to float in mid-air. His recent works explore an architectural dimension and may be found in gardens or historic sites worldwide.

INSPIRED BY THE POWER OF HENNESSY X.O
In reimagining the emblematic Hennessy X.O decanter, Jean-Michel Othoniel drew inspiration from the cognac's extra-long maturation process: it takes years for its precious eaux-de-vie to mature, as the oak barrels in which they are kept gradually facet their aromas and flavors. A testament to the way in which raw materials can be shaped by ancestral savoir-faire and time.

Octomore 15.2 offers an intriguing and inviting comparison to its 15.1 counterpart.
