Three Chord - Honey Toast & Toasted Barrels Blended Whiskey
5-6 year old MGP Bourbon and 8 year old KY Corn Whiskey were blended together and aged for 3 months in toasted barrels from Independent Stave Company and Speyside Cooperage. Those 3 months were followed by 1 month in barrels that previously held honey from Fern Valley Farms in Arkansas. This blend of three whiskeys and two finishes created a bold, yet balanced whiskey with a sweet honey finish.
Aroma: Oak lactones, spice box, honey cake, cedar, slight floral notes.
Taste: Balanced viscosity from the oak and honey. Surprisingly subtle heat, considering the proof. Medium-plus body with robust, toasted character on the midpalate. Opens slowly with layer upon layer of charred and toasted oak.
Finish: Clean finish with bold toasted notes and a restrained, sweet honey character.
