Distiller Notes
Milam & Greene Unabridged Volume 1 is a new limited edition, blend of straight bourbon whiskies. To create this, Heather Greene, their CEO, Master Blender and author of “Whiskey Distilled: A Populist Guide to the Water of Life” called on two of her longtime friends and colleagues Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich, whiskey experts and award-winning authors of “The Oxford Companion to Spirits and Cocktails”. The three tasted numerous bourbons from the Milam & Greene warehouses before finally selecting thirty-eight casks distilled across three different states with six different ages that make up this blend of straight bourbon whiskies.
Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
