Heritage
Chicken Cock Red Stave is a limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon that marries Bluegrass whiskey tradition with California wine craft. After its primary maturation, the bourbon is finished in J. Wilkes Petite Sirah barrels from Paso Robles, layering ripe stone-fruit and red-berry tones over a classic, high-rye Kentucky profile. Bottled at 51.2% ABV (102.4 proof) in the brand’s throwback Prohibition-style tin, it’s a showpiece release with real pedigree.
Under the Chicken Cock banner—first established in 1856 in Paris, Kentucky—Red Stave continues the label’s heritage of distinctive, celebratory bottlings while leaning into modern finishing to expand flavor without masking the bourbon’s core. The mash bill sits at 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, giving structure and spice that play naturally with Petite Sirah’s dark-fruited character.
