Three Chord comes out strong with their first limited release that’s a 15 year old Kentucky-sourced bourbon. While its age statement is certainly eye-catching, it's the whiskey itself that truly makes its mark. With a mouthcoating viscosity and its dark berry, brown sugar, and old oak flavor profile, it makes a great impression. With only two batches of 10 barrels a piece that produced 125 bottles per barrel on average, this is a very small release. You’ll likely have sticker shock from its $190 price tag, but ultimately find repose in its persuasive sip.

The sample used for this review was provided to us at no cost courtesy its respective company. We thank them for allowing us to review it with no strings attached.
