About Chicken Cock<\/h2>\n

Grain & Barrel Spirits is the passion project of Matti Anttila a former J.P. Morgan investment banker turned spirits entrepreneur. During a business trip to Brazil, he sampled the local Brazilian Cacha\u00e7a. He enjoyed it so much so that he decided to launch Cabana Cacha\u00e7a quickly building it into a successful brand. After another spirits investment, he founded Grain & Barrel Spirits in 2013.
\n 
\nThe Chicken Cock label dates all the way back to 1856, and is one of the oldest bourbon brands in history. The brand was successful in Paris, Kentucky, its popularity peaking during Prohibition when production was moved to Canada. In the 1950\u2019s the Chicken Cock Distillery was destroyed by a fire, and in 2016 Grain & Spirits bought the brand and released their line of Whiskey. <\/p>\n
