Three Chord Strange Collaboration Pinot Noir Cask Finish Bourbon

Strange Collaboration is Three Chord's bourbon blend finished in Pinot Noir barrels from Strange Family Vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills — a tribute to Johnny Strange, with part of the proceeds going to Parkinson's research. Neil Giraldo, Pat Benatar's guitarist and producer, founded Three Chord in 2018 on the idea that bourbons in harmony beat one alone; Batch No. 1 of Strange Collaboration takes the house's Kentucky-Tennessee-Indiana blend and finishes it in barrels that held Pinot Noir from the Strange family's Santa Barbara County vineyard — the cool-climate Sta. Rita Hills appellation known for exactly that grape — and bottles it in Michigan; check your bottle for the proof. The house notes: complex red fruit on the nose — cherry, currant, fresh strawberry, and raspberry — with the Pinot showing first on the palate, then oak, spice, and vanilla. Expect a lighter, brighter wine finish than a port or Cabernet bourbon — red berries and a faint earthiness over caramel — with a clean, fruity finish. Honest note: Pinot-finished bourbon is rare, and this one comes with a real story and a real cause — for the Sta. Rita Hills wine drinker, the finish collector, and the gift that does some good. Neat, on a cube, or in a Manhattan. Strange Collaboration, Batch No. 1.
