We use the best aged White American Oak staves from the Ozarks in Missouri at the Independent Stave Company. We selected a cooperage to assemble our barrels in Louisville, Kentucky that has 55 years of time-tested coopering techniques. All Three Chord Bourbons are aged in Number 4 Char (Alligator) barrels. Our 12-year-old whiskey in the blend helps create that smooth, refined finish. We bottle our 100% blended bourbon 300 gallons at a time, for a consistent flavor profile and quality taste.
