The distillery uses a 300-galleon Vendome Copper pot stillfounded in 2017, which makes it a relative newcomer to the Texas whiskey scene. That means many of the casks from their Unabridged series are sourced. The distillery they are sourcing from has gone unnamed, or at least I have been unable to identify it.
Something this reviewer found interesting: While poking around on Milam & Greene’s website I found a list of whiskey tutorials. Milam & Greene has a “Whiskey School,” led by their CEO Heather Greene. It is a comprehensive course. Although I cannot attest to the complexity of the program, I believe it is a rather unique opportunity to learn about whiskey from a member of the industry.

Tasting Notes: Milam & Greene Unabridged Volume 1
Vital Stats:
Bourbon whiskey. 59% ABV 118 proof. MSRP $89.99.
Appearance: Burnished copper
Nose: Like a first novel from a young author, the alcohol is trying to make a strong first impression. We get hints of toast, charcoal, red cinnamon bears, and baking spices. They all hit at once, making the opening chapters to this whiskey a little muddled.
Palate: As we settle into this story, we are treated to cigar tobacco, earthy notes like milled wood, and worn leather. A main character is rye spice in the middle chapters, with orange peel, and rye bread playing supporting roles. The mouthfeel is rich across the tongue and lingers for a while. The finish here is understated and smooth, with bitter bakers’ chocolate and a hint of candied cherries.
