Chicken Cock Whiskey Celebrates 170th Anniversary with Limited Edition Rooster Decanter & Legacy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Releases
BARDSTOWN, Ky. , Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chicken Cock Whiskey , one of America's oldest whiskey brands established in 1856, celebrates their 170th Anniversary with a 170th Anniversary Limited Edition Rooster Decanter and 170th Anniversary Edition Legacy Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Both releases will debut at Kentucky Bourbon Festival from September 10 - 13, 2026.
The 170th Anniversary Limited Edition Rooster Decanter (SRP $199.99) celebrates the iconic rooster that has stood proudly at the heart of Chicken Cock Whiskey since its earliest days. This limited-edition ceramic decanter is filled with 8-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey at 115 proof. For 170 years, the rooster has been Chicken Cock Whiskey's unmistakable mark, a symbol rooted in founder James A. Miller's life as a Bourbon County farmer and carried through generations of advertising, labels, and lore.
From the simple rooster icons of the 1850s to the richly painted label art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the bird became more than branding. It stood for defiance, pride, craftsmanship, and whiskey made with conviction. Now, for the first time in Chicken Cock history, the rooster takes form as a collectible ceramic decanter. Filled with a hand-selected blend of our award-winning Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, this limited edition release is untamed, and built to stand proud.
