"Chicken Cock, the whiskey in the tin can". That's what those Prohibition era chaps used to say as the bootleggers smuggled it surreptitiously across the border from Canada (where they had been forced to move production to).

Fast forward almost a century and the brand, which was actually established back in Kentucky in 1856, has been resurrected recently by Grain & Barrel Spirits of Charleston, South Carolina.
