THE DISTILLERY
Born in the heart of Bourbon county – before bourbon whiskey was “Bourbon”
In 1856, James A. Miller built a distillery and started making Chicken Cock Whiskey in Paris, Kentucky. After his death, Miller left the business to a trusted distillery clerk, George G. White, who made Chicken Cock into the legend it became.
