Three Chord RIOT: Double Bonded Rye Whiskey

Three Chord RIOT is a high-energy, "Double Bonded" rye whiskey that breaks the rules of traditional spirits: a blend of two distinct Bottled-in-Bond ryes from Indiana and Kentucky. Featuring the punk band The Darts on its bold hot pink label, this whiskey delivers a "perfectly tuned" flavor profile that is as loud and vibrant as its packaging.

Tasting Notes

• The Vibe (Nose): Sweet and inviting with notes of mint leaf, cinnamon sugar, coffee cake, and a touch of light rye grain.
• The Hook (Palate): A creamy, oily texture featuring vanilla bean, bold rye spice, white peppercorn, and toasted oak.
• The Encore (Finish): Long and complex with cooling menthol, lingering cinnamon stick, and a punch of herbal rye spice.

Why Three Chord RIOT Stands Out

While many ryes lean into heavy spice, RIOT balances its 86% high-rye mash bill with a creamy sweetness derived from the Bottled-in-Bond standards of its components. It is the ultimate choice for cocktail enthusiasts looking for a "Bonded" rye that can stand up in an Old Fashioned or for collectors who want a unique, award-winning bottle that pops on the shelf.

Good in an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan.
