PUBLISH DATE:<\/strong> August 3 2021
The Bourbon Club of Arkansas (BCA)<\/strong> has announced its next club selection\u2014a split barrel pick of Three Chord Bourbon<\/strong>, chosen in collaboration with 107 Liquor<\/strong>. Announced by Gary Penna<\/strong> on August 3, 2021, this pick reflects the club\u2019s continued focus on blind tasting and palate-driven selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the announcement, the barrel was picked blindly and unanimously from six batches<\/strong>, underscoring the strength of the final choice. The whiskey hails from MGP (Indiana)<\/strong> and carries MGP Barrel #37<\/strong>, a profile that immediately resonates with fans of spice-forward, rye-leaning bourbons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Flavor Profile & Style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The mash bill leans heavily into rye, placing this bourbon stylistically in line with classic Smokewagon profiles and select Four Roses-style recipes<\/strong> that emphasize spice, structure, and balance. At 116.6 proof, this release delivers intensity without sacrificing approachability\u2014an attractive middle ground for enthusiasts who appreciate robust character without extreme heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Why This Pick Matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Split-barrel selections like this one allow both the club and the retail partner to share in a standout barrel while making more bottles available locally. For Arkansas bourbon fans, this release continues a strong run of community-driven barrel picks<\/strong> that bring sought-after MGP profiles into the state through trusted local stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As with most BCA selections, availability was limited and demand was high\u2014another example of how blind tasting and consensus-driven picks continue to elevate Arkansas\u2019s bourbon scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n

      \u201cWithout further ado.. our next club pick is a split barrel with 107 Liquor.
      We picked blindly and unanimously out of 6 batches.
      Mash bill is
      60 corn
      36 rye
      4 malted barley
      Very similar to most SW and some of my favorite 4RS recipes.
      116.6 proof \/ 4.5 yrs of age.
      MGP #37

      About the Distiller: Three Chord Bourbon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Three Chord Bourbon<\/strong> is a modern American whiskey brand built around a music-inspired identity<\/strong> and a curated sourcing model<\/strong>. Rather than operating as a legacy distillery, Three Chord focuses on selecting, blending, and bottling whiskey sourced from established producers, most notably MGP of Indiana<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Founded in the late 2010s, the brand takes its name from the classic \u201cthree-chord\u201d structure common in blues, rock, and country music. Each release is presented as a \u201ctrack,\u201d pairing creative branding with clearly defined whiskey specifications such as mash bill, age, and proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Three Chord has earned credibility among bourbon enthusiasts through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Transparent sourcing practices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • A strong emphasis on high-rye mash bills<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Frequent single barrel and private selections<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Bottlings that favor flavor-driven proof points<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Because of this approach, Three Chord has become a popular option for barrel pick groups seeking consistent, spice-forward MGP profiles<\/strong> with enough variation barrel-to-barrel to reward blind tasting. That philosophy aligns closely with how the Bourbon Club of Arkansas conducts its selections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
