Three Chord Unedited Bourbon: Cask Strength Straight Bourbon

Three Chord Unedited is the cask-strength bourbon in Three Chord's core lineup, and its only year-round cask-strength release. Created by musician Neil Giraldo's brand, it's bottled uncut and unfiltered at 118 proof for drinkers who want high-proof whiskey at full volume. The label features the Australian band Purple Disturbance as an homage; it isn't a Backstage Series collaboration.

Why Choose Three Chord Unedited?

This expression skips filtration to keep the natural oils and esters, which gives it a fuller mouthfeel and a more layered flavor. It's the "Director's Cut" of bourbon: bold enough for a splash of water or a large rock, and worth a few minutes neat first.

Good in an Old Fashioned.
