Milam & Greene Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Casks
Milam & Greene Port Finished Rye Whiskey is brought from Indiana to Texas where it is batched in the Blanco rickhouse and finished in old Port wine casks from Portugal. The Texan sun influences the rate and strength of flavor imparted into the whiskey. Some casks take longer than others, so the expert team tastes the whiskey finishing the in the Port wine casks regularly to determine when optimal flavors are achieved. Casks are then batched together and proofed before bottling.

“We set out to make a whiskey for whiskey lovers who are as serious about taste as they are passionate about the people who create it,” said Greene in a prepared statement
