Three Chord Bourbon
Small batch bourbon and rye, blended for the bar crowd.
The story behind Three Chord
Three Chord is a blender's whiskey, not a distiller's monument. The house builds its bourbon and rye from sourced stocks and finishes them toward a specific profile: rounded grain sweetness, a little barrel spice, and enough backbone to hold up in a cocktail. That approach puts Three Chord in the company of the modern American blending houses rather than the old Kentucky distillery families.
What is reliably true is the style. A blended bourbon leans on corn for body and ease. A rye pushes the pepper and dill forward. A 12 year age statement means the whiskey spent real time in oak, so expect more vanilla, more tannin, more weight. We have poured Three Chord for customers who want a serious sipper without the allocated hunt, and it earns its place on the shelf.

Three Chord cocktails and pairings
Bourbon likes fat, salt and smoke. Rye likes something with a bite of its own.
