Rudolf Jelínek Goldcock 12Y is a Czech single malt whiskey with a smooth, malty-fruity character and a light hint of peaty smoke. It is produced by RUDOLF JELÍNEK and aged for at least 12 years in oak barrels, which gives it a fuller body, vanilla notes, and a more pronounced woody character.
The base is a malt distillate made from Moravian barley and water. Distillation takes place in copper stills, and the long maturation gradually brings out the whiskey’s fruitier and sweeter aspects. The aroma features malt, vanilla, pear, oak, and a subtle hint of peaty smoke. The taste is round and pleasantly sweet, with notes of fruit, vanilla, malt, nuts, spices, and a slightly smoky undertone.

About the GOLDCOCK Brand:
The history of the Czech GOLDCOCK whiskey dates back to the 1970s, and its roots are tied to Těšetice near Olomouc. The brand’s modern era is associated with the company RUDOLF JELÍNEK in Vizovice, where GOLDCOCK whiskey has been distilled since 2008. Today’s production uses Moravian barley, traditionally produced malt, and oak barrels from Moravian coopers.
About R. Jelínek:
Rudolf Jelínek is a name that has become synonymous with authentic fruit spirits. The brand’s history dates back to 1894, when a distillery was founded in Vizovice in the Wallachian region, which gradually became one of the most significant producers of fruit spirits not only in the Czech Republic but also worldwide.
Vizovice, located in the heart of the Wallachian region, offers ideal conditions for growing fruit, and it was here that the tradition of producing authentic slivovice was born, which remains the brand’s flagship product to this day. However, the portfolio has gradually expanded to include a wide range of other spirits—pear brandy, apricot brandy, cherry brandy, and herbal liqueurs—always with an emphasis on quality and authentic flavor.
