Three Chord Bourbon is well-known for its blends, cask finishes, and limited-release whiskeys. The popular brand is set to add a new whiskey to its portfolio thanks to a collaboration with the Allman Brothers Band estate and David Spero, long-time manager of Dickey Betts.

The 2025 Backstage Series – The Allman Brothers Band Bourbon

The newest release from Three Chords’ Backstage Series was created to pay tribute to the fifty-three-year-old anniversary of the band’s popular “Eat a Peach” album. The whiskey is a blend of 9-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon and an 11-year-old Tennessee whiskey made with a bourbon mash matured in re-charred barrels. It was then finished for 3-6 months in peach brandy barrels from George Washington’s distillery at Mount Vernon. The result is a unique, complex, 10-7-proof bourbon you will never forget.

“Since day one, our mission has been to create blends that capture the same excitement you feel when you hear your favorite songs. With the Backstage Series, we strive to bottle each artist’s essence—the special qualities that make them stand out. And who better to celebrate than the Allman Brothers, whose legendary legacy and boundless creativity inspired this truly exceptional release.”

Avalon Spirits is launching Whiskey Row Bourbon with three releases

Whiskey Row bourbon is launching with three unique expressions

Whiskey Row

Named for the historic section of Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky, Whiskey Row Bourbon is the newest line from Avalon Spirits. It was created to pay tribute to pre-prohibition aging and blending techniques. The brand is set to start it all off by launching three unique expressions.

The three Whiskey Row Bourbon releases are Triple Wood, Bottled in Bond, and Cask Strength. The Triple Wood expression gets its name because it's matured for at least four years in a charred oak before being finished in cognac and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The Bottled in Bond expression follows a "rigorous six-marker process to ensure quality" and is aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse under government supervision before being bottled at a potent 100-proof. The Cask Strength is precisely as the name would make it appear. It isn't proofed down after maturing and bottled at barrel strength.

How to drink rum like a pro: Tips for savoring every sip

Your guide on how to taste rum like a professional

Rum in a glass

It might seem self-explanatory, but the way you drink your spirits is actually important. That is, if you actually want to get the most out of them. In my almost two decades of writing about alcohol, I’ve had my fair share of shots of whiskey, vodka, tequila, and even Brennivín (after choking down fermented shark in Iceland). And while there’s no disputing the fact that a shot helps you ingest alcohol at a remarkably fast rate of speed, there’s not much taste involved. That’s why, to truly enjoy hard liquor, you have to take your time with it.

And while I could write an article detailing the aspects of sampling bourbon, single malt Scotch whisky, mezcal, and any number of spirits, today it’s rum’s turn. I’m going to get to the bottom of how to drink rum and taste it. Keep reading to learn the tips and tricks you’ll need to get the most out of your favorite rum in terms of aroma and flavor.
