Grain & Barrel Spirits, owner of Chicken Cock whiskey, has announced the partnership with the pro golfer to broaden awareness of the brand.

Grain & Barrel Spirits, producer of Chicken Cock Whiskey, has announced news of a multi-year partnership with PGA Tour pro golfer Kevin Kisner.

Chicken Cock Whiskey will be supporting Kisner through all of his outdoor pursuits, whether it be during the golf season, or hunting and fishing in the off season. The Chicken Cock Whiskey logo will be displayed on Kisner’s shirt sleeve for the full PGA Tour schedule, as well as the Masters, US Open and PGA Championship. Viewers can get a first look at his branded shirt at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am February 2-5, held annually in Pebble Beach, California as part of the PGA Tour.

Kisner is currently ranked #31 in the world. His confidence, bold attitude and prestige mirror Chicken Cock Whiskey’s celebrated reputation. Known as “The Famous Old Brand,” Chicken Cock Whiskey originated in Paris, Kentucky in 1856 and prospered for nearly a century, through Prohibition, until it disappeared from the market in the 1950’s. In 2012, Grain & Barrel Spirits founder Matti Anttila came across the brand while researching the early days of distillation and decided to bring it back to its former glory.

“I’m thrilled to work with Grain & Barrel, especially since they were founded in my home state of South Carolina," shares Kisner. “Their support for the Kisner Foundation really means a lot and I’ll be proud to wear the Chicken Cock logo this season. Chicken Cock, like golf, has a long, rich history I admire. Whether it’s golf or good whiskey, this ain’t no hobby for me!”

“Partnering with a South Carolina native to activate our brand carries so much meaning to us,” says Anttila. “The fact that we get to work with a golfer like Kevin, whose values align so closely with our brand’s values, is truly a gift. We’re looking forward to expanding Grain & Barrel’s reach by connecting golf aficionados with whiskey and vodka lovers.”

Grain & Barrel looks forward to supporting the Kevin & Brittany Kisner Foundation at a variety of charity events throughout the year. The nonprofit, run by Kevin and his wife, benefits children in the Central Savannah River area by providing them with opportunities to build strong foundations for success.
