Three Chords Bourbon

Three Chord Bourbon is a whiskey brand built around music, named for the three-chord progression at the root of the blues. It was founded by Neil Giraldo, the guitarist, songwriter and producer best known for his decades of work with Pat Benatar, who says he came up in Cleveland's music scene, and its whiskeys are blended for what the brand calls "Perfectly Tuned Taste." Three Chord describes itself as bourbon for musicians, record collectors and front-row fans, and its releases have won industry awards and ratings.

The brand's corporate office is in Clarence, New York, and its whiskey is co-packed at Ugly Dog Distillery in Chelsea, Michigan.
