Resurrect a lost legacy with Chicken Cock Miller's Reserve American Whiskey. This limited-edition release is a liquid tribute to the "spirit that wouldn't sink." It honors founder James A. Miller and the tragic 1860 sinking of the steamship A.O. Tyler, which took 475 barrels of Miller’s finest whiskey to the bottom of the Ohio River. To commemorate this history, the brand has created a unique blend of whiskeys from the four states bordering the river where the barrels were lost.
Bottled at a commanding 115 Proof (57.5% ABV), Miller's Reserve is a masterful marriage of four distinct stocks aged between 8 and 10 years: a 10-Year Double Oak Whiskey from Kentucky, an 8-Year High Rye Bourbon from Indiana, an 8-Year Wheated Bourbon from West Virginia, and a 10-Year Wheated Bourbon from Ohio. The result is a bold, multi-state blend that balances the spicy kick of rye with the creamy softness of wheat and the deep structure of double oak.
Backstory: Commemorates the 1860 sinking of the A.O. Tyler

Palate: Bold and full-bodied. A wave of toffee and brown sugar meets warm baking spices, toasted oak, and a subtle rye kick.
Finish: Long, warming, and sophisticated. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, charred oak, and black pepper fade into a touch of dried fruit and honey.
