Three Chord Twelve Bar Reserve 12 Year Barrel Proof Bourbon

Twelve Bar Reserve is Three Chord's barrel-proof blend of twelve-year Kentucky and Tennessee bourbons — named for the twelve-bar blues, the progression under half the songs Neil Giraldo ever played. Giraldo, Pat Benatar's guitarist and producer with four Grammys, founded Three Chord in 2018 on the idea that bourbons in harmony beat one alone; Twelve Bar Reserve is the top of the range — twelve-year Kentucky straight bourbon and twelve-year Tennessee bourbon, born and matured in bourbon country, married in Michigan, run through the house's secondary toasted-wood step, and bottled at barrel proof; check your bottle for the batch strength. Expect what twelve years in two states gives: a dense nose of old oak, caramel, leather, and dried fruit, a rich, layered palate of toffee, tobacco, baking spice, and stewed cherry with real tannin, and a long, warm, oaky finish. Honest note: twelve-year age-stated bourbon at barrel proof is scarce at any price, and this is the Three Chord that makes enthusiasts stop laughing at the celebrity angle — for the age collector, the barrel-proof drinker, and the Benatar fan who wants the serious bottle. Neat, a drop of water. Twelve Bar Reserve, barrel proof.
