Strange Collaboration is a blend of Kentucky Straight bourbon (aged between 3-6 yrs.), selected for full and smooth flavor and finished in Strange Family pinot noir casks, and bottled at 99 proof. The result is a unique expression of bourbon — high-proof, medium body with a hint of pinot noir on the nose and finish. Best enjoyed neat or in a classic cocktail.

3CH STORY
Three Chord Bourbon is what happens when music kids grow up–but don't grow out of it. We're not here for trophies, tasting notes, or ten-point plans. A Gold Medal here and there is nice and all, but we're here for the ones who still crank it to eleven, pour heavy, and live for the next spark of inspiration.
This brand was built in the shadows of dive bars, garage jams, and late-night turntables. The guy behind the scenes? He's got a Grammy and a Hall of Fame plaque, sure–but he's more concerned with whether the track hits than who gets credit. That energy? It's baked into every bottle.
Three Chord is a middle finger to the mundane. We bottle the feeling, not just the bourbon–the goosebumps when the needle drops, the chaos of a basement show, the silence right before the chorus kicks back in.
We don't do polished. We don't do proper. We do passion, poured up. This is for the Dad-bands, the midnight songwriters, the front-row lifers, and the people who still give a damn about what's real. If that's you, welcome to the movement. Three Chord Bourbon is here to help you express, not try to impress.

I grew up surrounded by people who made things with their hands–music, food, drink. You didn't buy creativity. You lived it. That sense of self-reliance and community defined my upbringing. Coming up in Cleveland, the music scene mirrored that ethos. It was about people coming together, making something out of nothing, and building a community through shared experiences.
With Three Chord, I wanted to give people something that felt like that again. Like the music I grew up with, this whiskey isn't just a product; it's a tribute to the artists, musicians, and pioneers who make things with their hands and hearts, and to the people that love and respect what they've made.
