Milam And Greene Liberty American Whiskey
A whiskey made to celebrate America’s spirit.
Our first Straight American Whiskey and one of its most ambitious blending projects to date, Liberty celebrates American whiskey-making through a distinctive blend of six carefully selected barrels and an innovative maturation journey.
Unlike bourbon, which must be aged in new charred oak containers, Liberty was matured in once-used Texas bourbon barrels. This unique approach allowed Milam & Greene's whiskey-making team to explore a different expression of American whiskey, one that balances youthful vibrancy with the nuanced influence of seasoned oak.
Liberty is a blend of three barrels of Milam & Greene's pot-distilled whiskey produced in Blanco, Texas, and three barrels of column-distilled whiskey from Bardstown, Kentucky. Each component was filled into once-used Texas bourbon casks and matured together to create a whiskey that showcases the best qualities of both distillation traditions.
