Distillery Edition Batch Four Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a Certified Texas Whiskey produced in Blanco, Texas. Like previous batches, it is pot-distilled by master distiller, Marlene Holmes, in a 300-gallon copper still, is non-chill filtered, and bottled at cask strength of 117.7 proof. We only made one special barrel of this extremely limited-edition bourbon.
The mash bill for Distillery Edition Batch Four — 70% corn, 22% malted rye, and 8% malted barley with a proprietary yeast recipe — has remained consistent for each of the four batches. What sets Batch Four apart is the impact of the Texan terroir on the barrels as they age for four years with the final months of aging in 2023 influenced by an ice storm, hail, and a tornado warning. It’s a “Texas weather finished” whiskey and this is our most robust Distillery Edition bottled to date with overwhelming flavors of maple syrup. It is hand-bottled at barrel proof (58.9% ABV / 117.7 Proof) to show off the intricacies that the distilling team painstakingly nurtured along the whiskey-making process.
The Distillery Edition Bourbon Batch Four Straight Bourbon Whiskey is now available exclusively at the Milam & Greene Whiskey distillery while supplies last.
