[Three Chord Bourbon](https://threechordbourbon.com/) was born from music. The brand was founded by music producer Neil Giraldo. Yes, the same guy behind countless rock anthems. His vision was to blend music and bourbon in a way that captures emotion, energy, and artistic soul in every bottle. That’s why each release leans hard into its musical inspiration; their portfolio paying homage to classic vinyl culture, garage-band grit, and late-night jam sessions. The result is a lineup of small-batch whiskeys that reflect real passion, not mass production. ## **Should you buy Three Chord RIOT.
