{"title":"Gold Cock","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGold Cock is the whisky project of Rudolf Jelínek, the legendary Moravian distillery in Vizovice, Czech Republic — a house officially founded in the late 19th century with roots stretching back to the 16th, and by far the best-known producer of plum brandy in Central Europe, its Kosher Slivovitz distributed worldwide. The Gold Cock brand itself dates to the 1970s, making it one of continental Europe's longest-running single malt programs, decades before \"world whisky\" became a category. The craft credentials are genuinely complete: local Moravian two-row barley, in-house floor maltings, malt from the Bruntál malthouse, slow double distillation, maturation in heavily charred European winter oak coopered locally in the Czech Republic, and bottling without chill filtration or added color — several expressions at 49.2% ABV, a tribute to the parallel running through Vizovice itself. The range spans a young Black Feathers blend, the flagship 10 Year single malt (symbolically peated to ~10 PPM), a heavily peated expression smoked to Islay-level 30 PPM with a genuinely unique pine-forest smoke character, and older limited releases reaching 20 years and beyond that have impressed even skeptical Scotch reviewers like Dramface. Czech single malt sounds like a curiosity; one pour makes clear it's a serious regional tradition hiding in plain sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Gold Cock collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gold-cock-10-year-single-malt-whisky","title":"Gold Cock 10 Year Single Malt Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003eGold Cock's 10 Year is the flagship age-stated single malt from Rudolf Jelínek, the storied Moravian distillery better known worldwide for its plum brandy, whose roots reach back to the 16th century — and whose Gold Cock whisky brand has quietly existed since the 1970s, making it one of continental Europe's more established malt whisky projects. The recipe is genuinely local top to bottom: malt from the Bruntál malthouse, only symbolically peated to around 10 PPM (a whisper of smoke, nothing like the brand's heavily peated sibling), fermented with distillers' yeast, then double-distilled as slowly as possible. The new make matures a full decade in heavily charred barrels of European winter oak, coopered in the Czech Republic. It's bottled at a distinctive 49.2% ABV — a tribute to the 49.2° parallel that runs directly through the distillery's hometown of Vizovice. Expect a maltier, gentler profile than the Peated: honeyed cereal, orchard fruit, vanilla, and caramel from the charred oak, with warm baking spice and just a faint breath of smoke underneath, carried by real weight from the near-cask proof. Dramface, reviewing the brand's range, praised its honest craft bona fides — local Moravian barley, in-house floor maltings, local cooperage, no chill filtration, no added color. A genuinely well-made Czech answer to Speyside, and a great conversation bottle for any whisky shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47094775841024,"sku":"C0009700L","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/GoldCock10year.jpg?v=1760201849"},{"product_id":"gold-cock-peated-single-malt-whisky","title":"Gold Cock Peated Single Malt Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCzech single malt sounds like a novelty until you learn who's behind it: Rudolf Jelínek, the Moravian distillery officially founded in the late 19th century with roots stretching to the 16th, best known worldwide for its plum brandy — and the Gold Cock whisky brand itself has been around since the 1970s. This Peated expression is the boldest thing they make: malt from the Bruntál malthouse smoked to roughly 30 PPM (genuine Islay-level peating), fermented with distillery yeast, double-distilled as slowly as possible, then matured in heavily charred European winter oak casks coopered in the Czech Republic — local barley, local wood, local craft, the whole way through. Whiskybase's community rates it a solid 83.4\/100 across nearly 100 ratings, with reviewers describing something genuinely unlike Scottish peat: coniferous forest, pine resin, and smoldering pine needles layered with herbs, opening into ripe apricots, figs, and bitter orange marmalade, with a dry, smoky, fruity palate. Dramface, reviewing the brand's older stock, praised the operation's honest craft credentials — floor maltings, local cooperage, no chill filtration or added color. A genuinely distinctive, well-made curiosity for peat lovers who think they've tasted everything.
