Our Whiskey
Small Batch Handcrafted Bourbon And Spirits
Three Chord sources high quality and rare whiskeys from the top distilleries in Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and Indiana for use in blends, single-source bottlings, and special releases. By using carefully selected barrels and combining unique flavor profiles, Three Chord creates an expression that is greater than the sum of its parts. Three Chord whiskeys are aged in heavy toast 4 char #1 barrels, French and American oak "hybrid" char #3 barrels, barrels imported from Cognac (not charred), and barrels from Spain, (not charred). After blending, they are returned to the barrels a second time, then bottled in Chelsea, Michigan.
Core Expressions
Drier and spicier than most whiskey, Three Chord Amplify Rye offers an array of flavors and aromas not present in bourbon. Three Chord Amplify Rye features the grain-forward (almost grassy) character of young Kentucky rye and more refined, deeper flavors of older Indiana rye.

Strange Collaboration is a blend of Kentucky Straight bourbon (aged between 4-6 yrs.), selected for low fusel oil content and light body, finished for 3 months in Strange Family French Oak pinot noir casks, and bottled at 99 proof. The result is a unique expression of bourbon — high-proof, light body with a hint of pinot noir on the nose and finish.

Our small batch Tennessee Straight Whiskey is light yet flavorful, distilled and aged at least 36 months. Using the maple charcoal filtration process, we have refined the whiskey to a “Perfectly Tuned Taste." Just as a three-chord progression is at the foundation of great music, Three Chord Tennessee Straight Whiskey is at the heart of a great spirit.

At the heart and soul of some of the greatest music ever composed is the twelve-bar blues progression. Its unique structure, tone, and character is created through each artist’s interpretation. Our Three Chord Twelve Bar Reserve was created with those elements in mind.

At Three Chord, we are first and foremost blenders. However, when we come across a small lot of barrels and feel they should enter the bourbon community in their original form, we release them without modification.
