by THREE CHORD BOURBON RELEASES LIMITED EDITION OWNERS SELECT THREE BARRELS TRILOGY COLLECTION
Exclusive Collaboration with WBSE’s Rickhouse Unites Three Chord Owner Neil Giraldo with Bill Varnell and Chad Cadden in Unique, First-Time Offering Events
Usually, we like to strip things down to “Just the facts, Ma’am” here at Bourbon Briefs. But this news is just too good to abridge. Here is the full news release issued this week by Three Chord Bourbon Company about its partnership with WBSE’s Rickhouse.
BUFFALO, N.Y. -– Three Chord Bourbon Inc.(www.ThreeChordBourbon.com), the award-winning bourbon company founded by music legend Neil Giraldo, today announces the release of a very limited Trilogy Collection of fine bourbons. The owner-selected Trilogy Collection extends the company’s progressive barrel maturation practices with three new expressions, and gives enthusiasts a new, distinctively different offering created by Giraldo, in partnership with WBSE’S RICKHOUSE (https://shop.wbserickhouse.com/) founders Bill Varnell and Chad Cadden.
The Trilogy Collection presents three bourbons that can be purchased individually or as a trifecta, including the Double Oak Finish, the Toasted Barrel and the Cherry Bounce. It is a first-time collaboration between WBSE Rickhouse and Three Chord Bourbon, and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis between now and December 31st, 2022 exclusively through WBSE Rickhouse.
Owner Giraldo selected the barrels and worked closely with Varnell and Cadden to create the Trilogy, a must-have for bourbon fans and music fans alike. “We base our bourbon blending decisions on three principles very similar to those followed when creating music,” said Giraldo. “In the artistry of each expression, there is a melody, a rhythm and a harmony, and we believe we have found the perfect complements in this Trilogy collection.”
“I drink what I pick,” said Bill Varnell, co-founder of WBSE’S RICKHOUSE and Publisher of Whiskey Network. “This is a one-of-a-kind collection with a trusted partner for an extremely exclusive run. Working with Giraldo and Three Chord Bourbon was a hands-on experience, and I truly believe whiskey enthusiasts will find this to be an absolute hit and an amazing gift.”
The Trilogy will be sold immediately, with less than one hundred bottles of each expression available.
WBSE’S RICKHOUSE in collaboration with Neil Giraldo, is proud to debut these 3 new exclusive and fantastic expressions for THREE CHORD BOURBON! We couldn’t be happier with the quality and craftsmanship of these fine bourbons! We believe that you will find these a great addition to your collection. We suggest that you purchase the Trilogy collection for your holiday entertaining, or for your own enjoyment. These will be available for a limited time at www.wbserickhouse.com
