Description

Buffalo Distilling One Foot Cock Rye Whiskey

How did the name come to be?

In the beginning we wanted our brand to coincide with the company name “Buffalo Distilling”. But, when we registered the name “Buffalo Bourbon” as a brand, we quickly received objectionable letters from Buffalo Trace lawyers. We were strongly urged to forgo using our city’s name sake and prized animal in our branding. So we decided to looked at another popular animal that happened to grace the side of our little moonshine shack, the rooster. And this particular rooster only had one leg.

The image of the rooster and brand name thread together the agricultural roots of our humble beginning, and the true nature of what consuming alcohol is all about. Having a laugh and some fun after the work is done. This story is true and we hope it puts a smile on your face.

Buffalo NY’s first and only Rye Whiskey since Prohibition. Batch no.1 was also Buffalo’s first Empire Rye, a new legal designation for American Spirits.

Mash bill includes 100% local rye, malted rye and a special Bloody Butcher heirloom corn for a touch of sweetness in this delicious 100 proof debut distilled in house. Aged a minimum 5 years in new, charred American white oak barrels in our rick house. Limited

A true Manhattan Crusher!
