Today the bourbon is produced through Bardstown Bourbon Company's collaborative distilling program in partnership with Grain \u0026amp; Barrel Spirits, headquartered in Paris, Kentucky, in the heart of Bourbon County. The mashbill runs 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, and every step of the process is supervised by Chicken Cock Master Distiller Gregg Snyder to maintain a traditional Kentucky bourbon profile with a meaningful rye backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy corn sweetness opens first, then gives way to vanilla, lemon curd, and summer flowers.
