Three Chord
$30-$50
Nose
Intriguing notes of mineral character reminiscent of limestone-filtered water, southern sweet tea with lemon zest, caramel sweetness, and subtle hints of sorghum molasses.
Palate
Golden honey appearance with surprising lack of oak and leather despite three years of aging, with some detecting a chalky Necco candy character typical of Tennessee whiskeys.
Finish
Slight wateriness noted at 85 proof, suggesting higher proof might improve the finish.
Overall Score
3.5 / 5
A solid everyday sipper with interesting mineral notes and sweet tea character, though the low proof results in a slightly thin finish.
