IT'S ALMOST HERE: UNABRIDGED BOURBON VOLUME 5
Unabridged Volume 5 is an unedited expression of our blending philosophy: bourbon exactly as it should be, uncut at cask strength and non-chill filtered. This limited-edition release marks the fifth chapter in our most celebrated series, a collection that pays homage to the idea of a book unedited: bold, honest, and unlike anything else on the shelf.
For this edition, acclaimed whiskey expert Fred Minnick partnered with our award-winning production team to select an exceptional blend. Together, they tasted blind with members of local bourbon clubs, landing on a single expression that the group enthusiastically agreed on: a complex, mahogany-colored bourbon that stands as one of our most cohesive projects to date.
MASTER'S NOTES
Marlene Holmes, Master Distiller: "The Unabridged collection has always been about transparency and the art of blending without constraints. With Volume 5, we wanted to honor the history of the series by bringing together barrels of different ages and regional characters, creating a final story in the glass that stands as one of our most cohesive projects to date."
Rikk Munroe, Master Whiskey Maker: "Managing the marriage of seven distinct mashbills, including our unique malted rye bourbon, required meticulous precision. The Texas heat really pushed the rich, savory oak character of the older Kentucky and Tennessee lots to integrate beautifully with the vibrant sweetness of our hometown distillate, resulting in a remarkably luxurious whiskey."

UNABRIDGED BOURBON VOLUME 4
Building upon the legacy of its predecessors, Volume 4 invites true whiskey enthusiasts to experience a masterful fusion of flavor derived by pulling barrels aging in different climates before marrying them in Texas heat defining the Milam & Greene house style of “Texification”. While previous editions of Unabridged were crafted from upward of fifty barrels, Volume 4 represents the smallest yield in the series to date. Eight carefully chosen casks were selected for their remarkable character, and together they revealed a harmony so complete that the blend needed no further expansion. This is a whiskey that speaks perfectly for itself.
