Three Chord Single Barrel Blended Bourbon Whiskey Honey Cask Finish 'San Diego Barrel Boys' Select

This is a San Diego Barrel Boys blend of Three Chord's Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee bourbon, finished half in honey casks and half in toasted oak, bottled at cask strength — 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 build their own; the Barrel Boys — the most active private-barrel club in San Diego County — crafted this blend for balance and structure, then finished it in two barrels at once: 50% in casks that held honey, 50% in toasted oak, the way adding notes to three chords brings complexity to a song. Expect the house's caramel-and-rye blend deepened by the finish — a nose of honey, toasted oak, vanilla, and cinnamon, a rich, sweet palate of honeycomb, toffee, and baking spice over the rye's pepper, and a long, warm, toasted finish with the honey lingering. Honest note: honey-cask finishing is rare done this way — not a honey liqueur, a bourbon rested in wood that held honey — and at 116 proof it's a serious bottle; for the Barrel Boys collector, the Gold Rush that needs no honey syrup, and the drinker who wants the sweet side of cask strength. Neat, a drop of water, or a Gold Rush. Three Chord, SDBB, honey cask.
