Three Chord Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey 'San Diego Barrel Boys' Select

This is a barrel the San Diego Barrel Boys let go solo — Three Chord's Indiana high-rye bourbon, 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley, barreled February 10, 2017, bottled September 12, 2021, four and a half years old, uncut at 116.6 proof. Neil Giraldo, Pat Benatar's guitarist and producer, founded Three Chord in 2018 on the idea that bourbons in harmony beat one alone, and the house's single-barrel program lets clubs pick barrels from its Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana stock; the Barrel Boys — the most active private-barrel club in San Diego County, who taste blind against the standard release — usually build blends, and say this barrel was so compelling and unique they insisted on bottling it alone. It's MGP's 36%-rye bourbon from one barrel, bottled at barrel strength with no finishing. Expect the classic Indiana high-rye profile at full proof and young age: a nose of caramel, cherry, cinnamon, and rye pepper, a big, spicy, sweet palate of brown sugar and chocolate-covered cherry, and a long, hot, peppery finish. Honest note: the same MGP recipe as Smoke Wagon and Old Scout, picked by the club that picks the Smoke Wagons — this barrel exists only here. Neat, a drop of water. Three Chord, SDBB, solo.
