A little background

Three Chord Distillery is a relatively new player in the world of whiskey, but they have already made quite an impression on whiskey lovers with their innovative blends and commitment to quality. Recently, they announced the release of their latest product, the Three Chord Limited Edition Honey Toasted.

This unique whiskey is the result of blending together a 5-6 year old MGP Bourbon and an 8 year old Kentucky Corn Whiskey. The blend was then aged for 3 months in toasted barrels from Independent Stave Company and Speyside Cooperage. This allowed the whiskey to take on the subtle flavors and aromas of the toasted wood, adding depth and complexity to the final product.

But Three Chord didn’t stop there. After the initial 3 months of aging, the whiskey was transferred to barrels that previously held honey from Fern Valley Farms in Arkansas. This final month of aging infused the whiskey with a sweet honey flavor, creating a bold yet balanced whiskey with a smooth, lingering finish.

The Three Chord Limited Edition Honey Toasted is a testament to the distillery’s commitment to quality and experimentation. By blending together three unique whiskeys and aging them in two distinct barrels, they have created a truly one-of-a-kind product that is sure to delight whiskey lovers. Three Chord Limited Edition Honey Toasted is bottled at 111.3 Proof and carries a retail price of around $60 USD.
