Gold Cock is the oldest whisky brand in the Czech Republic, with a history dating back to 1969. Originally produced at the Tesetice distillery, the brand was later acquired by Rudolf Jelínek, a renowned Czech producer based in Vizovice, best known for its fruit spirits and slivovitz. Under Jelínek's stewardship, Gold Cock has continued to grow and cement its place as a pioneering name in Czech whisky production. The Gold Cock portfolio spans several expressions that showcase the brand's range and ambition. The lineup includes the young, three-year-old blended whisky nicknamed 'Red Feathers,' a 10-year-old, and the flagship 12-year-old single malt. The brand has also released limited vintage expressions, such as the Gold Cock Single Malt 1992, launched in spring 2015 in just 1,948 bottles, and a 1995 vintage released later that same year. These older releases demonstrate Jelínek's commitment to maturing quality Czech single malt whisky over the long term. Gold Cock has attracted international attention as a curiosity and a genuine craft product from an unexpected whisky-producing nation. Its vintage releases and collaborations, such as those with Old Well, have further strengthened its reputation among whisky enthusiasts looking to explore beyond traditional whisky regions.
