Rye Whiskey tends to be drier and spicier than Bourbon. Three Chord Rye is no exception. We have aged Ryes from Kentucky and Indiana to create a refined blend. Our 3-year-old Rye contributes wood and spices, while our younger Rye gives us a nice, grassy character. They complement each other perfectly!

40% 8 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon, 45% TN Straight Bourbon, 15% 2.5 Yr Old KY Straight Bourbon.

This blend of straight bourbons was crafted by Aaron Gillespie himself at the Whiskey House in Nashville, an exclusive invite-only club that houses one of America’s largest collections of bourbon. There, Aaron and a group of bourbon experts tasted through whiskeys from distilleries across the country of various ages and types. They managed to create a blend that not only commemorates the 20th anniversary of “They’re Only Chasing Safety,” but could also hold its own amongst all of the amazing bourbons they were surrounded by in the Whiskey House.

“After consulting with the band, everyone was on board with this being exactly what they all wanted. “I love bourbon so so much and have never even dreamed of making a blend, but Three Chord gave us that opportunity. This one was made with love. It’s what we wanna drink and what we wanna share, so pour it tall and enjoy with those you love.”

-Aaron Gillespie

A deceivingly easy drinking blend of Tennessee and Kentucky whiskeys. Layers of sweet baked goods and oak make for a complex and beautiful sipping experience.

Three Chord Backstage Series

Crafting exceptional whiskey is akin to composing an exquisite melody. Just like in music, every element must possess individual excellence while seamlessly melding with others to create a wonderfully harmonious outcome. The same can be said for noteworthy collaborations. This is precisely the essence of our Backstage Series, a melting pot where the realms of music and whiskey converge to produce something extraordinary. Each release is meticulously handcrafted by Whiskey Maker Ari Susan, with direct input from the artists themselves. So, set the ambiance with your favorite tunes, pour yourself a glass, and savor the experience!

We use the best aged White American Oak staves from the Ozarks in Missouri at the Independent Stave Company. We selected a cooperage to assemble our barrels in Louisville, Kentucky that has 55 years of time-tested coopering techniques. All Three Chord Bourbons are aged in Number 4 Char (Alligator) barrels.

Three Chord welcomes a new limited-edition release to our family of award-winning whiskies.

Our whiskey is rested in low-char, heavy-toasted barrels for three months, then moved to Fern Valley Farm honey barrels for an additional month to create a bold yet balanced product with a sweet honey finish. 
This product is the perfect addition to your own family’s collection.

Just as a three-cord progression is at the root of the blues, music is at the core of Three Chord, a blended bourbon infused with a harmony of rich taste, complex structure, and smooth finish.

Three Chord is steeped in tradition yet revolutionary using propriety blending techniques and a secondary wood charring process that creates a melody of caramel, vanilla, and maple notes.

At Three Chord we pride ourselves on selecting the finest whiskey possible for our blend and small-batch expressions.

Three Chords are the foundation of nearly all early blues, country, and rock & roll songs. Just as introducing additional notes brings complexity to the music, combining different barrels adds complexity to whiskey. Whether in music or spirits, when artfully composed, blending can create perfect harmony.

Hand-selected for exceptional character and bottled by hand, our Barrel Blending Selections are among the finest available.

Respect each moment. Make your own music.
