Chicken Cock Whiskey (Kevin Kisner Double Oak)

Chicken Cock Whiskey is a proud partner of professional golfer Kevin Kisner. This Kevin Kisner Double Oak was first placed in ex-bourbon barrels for seven years, then finished in new white oak barrels for an additional two years to add complexity and flavor. Each single barrel for the Kisner release was selected by Kisner with input from Chicken Cock Whiskey’s Master Distiller, Gregg Snyder. The Kevin “Kiz” Kisner Single Barrel is Kentucky Whiskey with a mash bill of 80% Corn, 11.5% Rye and 8.5% Malted Barley, bottled at a barrel strength of 119.2 proof or 59.6% ABV.

“Authenticity and quality are two characteristics I value, which are especially true for Chicken Cock Whiskey. This is why we have again collaborated on this really nice Double Oak single barrel,” shares Kisner. “From the true-to-history brand story to the meticulous attention to detail of its whiskey production, Chicken Cock Whiskey is a real one.”

The infamous viral Babyfoot Peel is the ORIGINAL Exfoliation Foot Peel that contains 16 natural extracts and restores your feet to the smooth, soft feet you once had. When we think of self-care we think of hair masks, mental health days, spa days, and just pampering ourselves, but the one thing that gets overlooked is our soles.
