James A. Miller and Chicken Cock: The Forgotten History of Bourbon with Will Woodington

Update: 2023-10-02

Description

When it comes to whiskey history, some historic names take a long time to see the light of day. When it comes to James A. Miller, his time is well overdue. He started distilling in Bourbon County in the 1830s and eventually built a distillery he called The Bourbon Distillery. His whiskey was "celebrated" in New Orleans and eventually found its way to California and even to Germany and Canada. The whiskey was known as Chicken Cock. And today I'm talking with the current brand owner's ambassador Will Woodington about this history. Enjoy!
