Chicken Cock Whiskey Revives Ryeteous Blonde for a Limited-Time Release

Chicken Cock Kentucky Straight Rye finished in Goodwood Brewing Blonde Ale Barrels, crafted for a Ryeteous Summer.

BARDSTOWN, Ky., April 14, – Chicken Cock Whiskey, one of America's oldest whiskey brands, is proud to reunite with Goodwood Brewing to reintroduce Ryeteous Blonde—a highly requested collaboration returning for a limited time only. After the success of its original release in 2020, Chicken Cock Whiskey is excited to reintroduce this distinctive expression, officially launching on May 1.

Ryeteous Blonde is a standout offering of the brand's Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey finished in Goodwood Brewing Blonde Ale barrels. The result is a smooth, vibrant pour that expertly balances the bold spice of rye with the bright, malty sweetness imparted by the beer barrels. National Whiskey Ambassador Will Woodinton notes that, "Goodwood's Blonde Ale brings forward flavors of honey and biscuit malt which meld seamlessly with our Kentucky Straight Rye. Notes of crisp apple, sweet malt, delicate pepper and honey overflow the palate, leading to a beautiful finish reminiscent of "springtime" in a glass with honeycomb, lemongrass, pear, toasted oak, and gentle sweet malt."

To celebrate the return of Ryeteous Blonde, Chicken Cock Whiskey is launching Ryeteous Summer, a campaign that highlights the whiskey as the perfect libation for those who embrace adventure. Whether chasing thrills or seeking new horizons, Ryeteous Blonde is the ideal companion for those who live for adventurous summer moments. Through live tastings at the Chicken Cock Whiskey brand home in Bardstown, KY, Circa 1856, social collaborations, and retail activations, the campaign will drive awareness, inviting whiskey lovers to make Ryeteous Blonde part of their unforgettable summer traditions, and share their adventures using #RyeteousSummer.

"We're excited to bring back Ryeteous Blonde and kick off the upcoming season with something truly special," said Matti Anttila, founder of Grain & Barrel Spirits. "Summer only comes once a year and this collaboration with Goodwood Brewing is a perfect example of what happens when two bold worlds—whiskey and beer—come together. With the Ryeteous Summer campaign, we're celebrating that daring spirit and encouraging whiskey enthusiasts and adventurers alike to embrace the memorable moments."

The Ryeteous Blonde limited-edition release highlights the epitome of a like-minded collaboration of whiskey expertise and innovative beer craftsmanship. As an exclusive offering, Ryeteous Blonde is a drink for the fearless, crafted to elevate bold moments and inspire unforgettable experiences.
