About Milam & Greene Port Wine Cask Finish Straight Rye Whiskey
Marsha Milam is an entrepreneur that was captivated by the process of creating whiskey when she visited a Kentucky warehouse. "All that quiet, the beauty, and the irreverence of whiskey spoke to me. It sits in that barrel and does exactly what it wants to do. You can’t rush it," she says. When she founded the award-winning independent whiskey range, she partnered with veteran Master Blender Heather Greene, Master Distiller Marlene Holmes, and Master Brewer Jordan Osborne. The team was ready to kickstart their distilling operation in the Texas Hill Country.With 60 years of combined experience, the team employs a proprietary yeast strain to achieve the perfect aromas. They work with bot a 300-gallon copper-pot still in the Texas Hill Country, as well as column stills in Bardstown, Kentucky. Some of the whiskeys are sourced, some are distilled on-site. They age their spirits in Blanco, benefitting from the unique Texas terroir. All of their whiskeys are bottled and labeled by hand.
Milam & Greene Straight Rye Whiskey is a sourced Indiana rye that is finished in port wine casks in Milam & Greene's Texas warehouse. With the climate influencing the whiskey, each cask is tasted regularly, ensuring that the finished spirit has reached its optimal flavor profile. It is then batched together and brought to 94 proof before being bottled. The whiskey has earned a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2020 and a Gold Medal the following year.

About Rye
As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin.
It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.
By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.
