Three Chord Flipside Triple Wood is a Kentucky straight bourbon made from a mashbill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley. The bourbon consists of 4-7 year old whiskeys that were then finished for 2-3 months in a combination of new charred American oak barrels and used toasted French and American oak barrels. It's bottled at 90 proof and sells for around $35.
On the palate, the experience turns darker, beginning with chocolate-covered espresso beans. As it develops, flavors of oatmeal cookies and mace appear, adding more character. The mouthfeel at this stage feels flat and lacking in structure. There’s an expectation of something more assertive, but it never quite arrives in the early moments. However, the mouthfeel improves on the finish.
